If a have a large monitor attached to my MacBook Pro, but the monitor has no speakers, how do I stream Zoom onto the big screen, but have the sound come out of the MacBook Pro (with head phones)?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

I think you just plug in your headphones and adjust the Ouptut source in:

System preferences > Sound > Output

External Display and Audio from MacBook Air I wish to use an external monitor with my MacBook in close-display mode. Before I buy a monitor with built in speakers or a speaker set separately, can I use the external display to watch video or listen to music with the sound coming from the laptop even with the lid closed?

ASUS monitor to MacBook Pro connection How to get my MacBook Pro to connect to an ASUS BE27ACSBK Monitor or, at least to get it to work. It is connected via HDMI--the audio works fine but no video for use in conferencing (Zoom, etc.) Monitor works fine as a monitor, but camera doesn't.

Can I still listen to music when it's plugged into Macbook (monitor has no built-in speakers) I've connected my Macbook Air to a Samsung monitor via an HDMI cable. The monitor doesn't have built-in speakers. I have a Marshall Bluetooth speaker that I usually connect sound output to from my Macbook. Is there a way to select and specify that Sound Output should be from Macbook to Bluetooth speaker, when the monitor is connected via HDMI? I basically want to save my eyes, and use a big screen, but still listen to music and be able to watch videos with sound on this big screen. I bought the monitor off FB marketplace, practically new, for a great deal...so I didn't know it didn't have internal speakers.
