How do I display video only on external monitor?

I have a laptop with external monitor on HDMI. I want the control panel (stop, play buttons, etc) to be seen on my main screen (builtin laptop screen), and a separate window for video display to be present in the second monitor (external monitor, which will face the audience I want to see the video I will play). Is it possible to configure VLC palyer to have 2 separate windows (a control panel only window, and a video display only window)?

Hi,
you can do as follow: in tools > preferences
- on Interface tab, uncheck "integrate video in interface"
- on Video tab, check "Fullscreen" and select a monitor in "Fullscreen Video Device"

This is exactly the same setup I would like to use, and I have done the suggested fix, but the controls also go to the external monitor also (TV screen). How do I keep the controls on the first monitor (the desktop/laptop monitor)?

I tried this and it still loads fullscreen on my primary monitor (laptop). VLC 3.0.7
