To use your camera as a webcam all that is required is to install the EOS Webcam Utility, plug the camera in, turn it on (it is recommended that you use movie mode), and start the streaming or conferencing software of your choice.

You will be able to select the camera in the configuration area of your chosen software. This procedure will vary from software package to software package.

Note: Audio is not transmitted from the camera. Confirm that the another source (either a built-in microphone or a headset) is selected for audio.

This image is an example of what you will see in your chosen software package. It is not intended to be all inclusive of all packages and is just for illustration:


Once selected, the software will use the connected Canon camera as the video source.

Caution:

• While you are using EOS Webcam Utility Beta software with your camera, you will not be able to use the EOS Utility application. To use the EOS Utility application you will need to close your video conferencing application or deselect the EOS Webcam Utility Beta as the video source in the video conferencing application.
   
• If live stream does not appear or no longer appears or the hosting application is no longer responsive, please try closing all applications using the camera plugin (i.e. Zoom, Teams, etc…), turn off and on the camera, and try again.
  
  When closing applications, make sure they are fully closed. If there is a small dot underneath the application in the macOS dock, then right click the application icon and select [Quit].
