I want to show my recording on a large screen TV, as I'm recording. I'm using a Macbook and have HDMI connected to my TV for output but I don't see what I'm recording on the TV? Can this be done in OBS

As far as I can tell, the solution given only displays the video of the current scene.

Is there a way to display EXACTLY what is being sent to the cloud. With scene changes, with audio, etc. We can record the stream as we send it. Can we also display that stream as we send it?

We are in a church where we want to have screens in the foyer show the exact same feed that's being sent to Facebook live.

I'm not sure what you mean by "what is being sent to the cloud". The preview window is the current scene unless you're in studio mode. The current scene will be the only one being sent to the stream.

You can record and stream simultaneously, but the two will be identical except for differences in quality (and possibly audio tracks, as you can record multiple, separate audio tracks but you can only stream one track at a time (although that track can have multiple devices.

I guess I'm not really sure what you're trying to achieve-- maybe that would help me understand the question. However the preview solution I mentioned is video only-- not audio. If you're saying you want synchronous audio and video display of what is currently being streamed-- without delay-- I'm not sure you can do that. If you were just trying to stream to another device there is a way to use VLC as a client, but you can't simultaneously stream to that AND to a streaming service. At least, not without running two instances of OBS.

Thanks, that last paragraph answered my question - I'm wanting exactly what you thought - synchronous audio and video display of what is currently being streamed. Not available. Can get video only.

I did figure out why I was locked into one scene: I was using Full Screen Projector (Source) instead of Full Screen Projector (Preview). But, even after that fix, I still lack audio.

I tried to use the audio monitor, to send the audio, and it worked - somewhat. The volume on the audio monitor is so low that, while it works, it's really not usable. Very frustrating.
