LCD Display goes blank on Canon M50 with Feelworld F6 Pro 5.7" IPS 4K HDMI Monitor

Hello, I am wondering if anyone is using an external monitor with the Canon M50 and having trouble with the LCD Display going blank when connecting the Feelworld F6 Pro 5.7" or any monitor to HDMI. Does anyone know how to fix this? Am I able to use both screens at the same time? Thanks!

AFAIK, all Canons do this, they only have the video circuitry to drive one display: either the LCD or external.

This is not the case on the M50 Mk2. I'm using it with HDMI out to a Camlink. It will show the interface with live video on the swing out display for a minute or so after I half touch the shutter button, but then turn off. No matter whether the internal or external display is on, the clean HDMI is sent to the Camlink just fine.
