Can't see video while it's being recorded

Postby blahblahblahblahblah » 07 Jan 2022 11:58

Is there a way to view a video while it's being recorded? Or, second choice if that's not possible, see the camera's view before recording starts so I can at least set it up? I only see black. This is not for live streaming. I only want to record video to my computer. The recording is working fine; the only problem is I can't see anything until I stop recording and play the finished video.
