I'm not sure if the title accurately defines what my question is, but let me explain the situation and perhaps it'll be more clear.
We are using vMix for a church live stream. We currently use 2 monitor on this specific computer. One monitor is used to run vMix and the second monitor is being used for various other things - checking the stream on YouTube, Facebook, web browsing, etc.
We have it set up so the live output is run to different parts of the church so people who aren't in the main sanctuary can see it (nursery, kitchen, lobby, etc.) One of those TVs is in the back of our sanctuary so that those on the platform can see that they are on camera and make sure they are smiling or not doing something embarrassing. I was wondering if (for that TV) if we could show the live view and the preview so that they could know if they are on and also what is coming next so they can be prepared for the camera to be on them. Currently what often happens is the camera goes live on someone, they see themselves and then they smile and look away - it's a bit obvious with some people that they know they are on camera, so I was wondering if we could show just the live view and the preview on that TV - not the rest of the shots.
I'n not sure if this is possible, but if it is, I'd love to find out how. Thanks!

Hi Spydervenom and welcome to the Forum! It's pretty easy. First, use a third monitor output from your graphics card and route that to the back of the sanctuary. Then, in Window's Display settings make sure Multiple Displays for that one is set to Extended. There are a number of ways to accomplish what you want. Here is the probably easiest one. Setup vMix for Fullscreen 1 (see the help file's Display section for a start). It's a LITTLE bit tricky to figure out which of Window's Display numbers (gray drop down selection) goes to the sanctury, but you will figure it out. Likely 2 will go to your current monitor and 3 to your sanctuary - or the other way around. Then in Settings/Outputs/NDI select Fullscreen to use "MultiView". At the same time, choose the MultiView layout you need and customize it to your preference. If you only want Preview and Output, add a Color Input (black) and customize the other sections to use that Input. (see attaced screenshot, may look different depending you which vMix edition you have)  Fullscreen-MultiView.JPG (79kb) downloaded 1 time(s).Good luck!
