Web cam/USB-c port used as a second monitor source

My church recently purchased a mini pro. We are up and running but I need to know if the Web cam/USB-c port can be configured and used as an additional monitor outlet such as a TV using a USB-c to HDMI cord. I only need program view on the second monitor for an overflow room and our recording is not done through the mini pro. Thank you in advance for any help or information. I have looked at the HDMI out and using a splitter but from what I have read that seems to be an issue with most splitters and no one particular splitter is recommended, plus than I would lose my multi view for broadcasting health.

I suspect that this would do what you are looking for: OBSBOT UVC to HDMI Adapter 2nd Gen

You could also run the stream into OBS using the webcam and then out via a USB to HDMI adpater.
