FPV with APM 2.5

Hello! I am new to building and flying drones, and I need some help.

I want to be able to fly a plane using the APM 2.5, but get a real-time video feed while i'm doing it (preferably into a pair of goggles). I don't really understand what I need to buy to get this to work.

Could a GoPro camera act as both a FPV camera and a recording camera, or do I need separate camera for the FPV?

Do I need to buy any more electronic boards than the APM (Do they use separate transmitters)? Is this what the OSD board is for, to connect a camera to the APM's transmissions.

I really appreciate the help, and I feel very lost so feel free to add anything of importance when using FPV and the APM.

Thanks a bunch!
