Hi, i'm new to it too so i hope this helps:

Now that you have the obs spout 2 plugin installed, you'll get a new source in obs called "spout 2 capture", add that with "first available sender". Then go to MMV - window - magic window options, check "spout output" and "use spout 2". That should do it!

I gave this a quick try and it seemed to work just fine.

Steps:
1) I updated my OBS installation to OBS 28.1.2

2) I downloaded and ran the OBS<>Spout plugin https://github.com/Off-World-Live/obs-s ... -obs28.exe

3) I loaded a project into Magic, then enabled Spout output (Window>Magic Window Options>Spout Output)

4) I confirmed Spout v2 was selected (Window>Magic Window Options>Use Spout v2)

5) I started OBS, clicked + in the Sources panel then selected Spout2 Capture

6) I clicked OK on the Create/Select Source popup window

7) A properties window opened for Spout2 Capture, displaying my Magic output. I set Spout Senders to Magic Main Sender and clicked OK

8) My Magic output appeared in the OBS preview window, but it was zoomed in and there was a red box around it.

9) I set OBS to match my Magic project's resolution, and the full Magic output was shown in the OBS preview, without any red box

EDIT, sending transparency from Magic as well:
10) I sent Magic's output with an alpha (transparency) channel (Window>Magic Window Options>Send Alpha Channel)

11) In OBS I changed the Spout2 Capture properties, setting Composite Mode to Premultiplied Alpha

12) I added an image to the OBS Sources panel, then dragged it below the Spout2 Capture source. The image was then visible in the transparent regions of my Magic output.
