How to turn a Canon DSLR camera into an overpowered webcam

The onset of COVID-19 led to a dramatic rise in webcams’ demand, subsequently leading to a shortage. As remote work becomes a norm, many people question why better video quality isn’t available on laptop webcams. Well, this compromised video quality is simply because webcams aren’t equipped with the functions required to provide better quality. While USB reports can support them, they still need software to transmit the video to tools, such as Google Ameer and Zoom. 

That’s where the latest update comes in. Canon is now another camera manufacturer that has released software that allows your professional camera to be used as a webcam. Other manufacturers that have also released such software for Windows and Mac include Panasonic, Olympus, and Fujifilm. 

Canon’s EOS Webcam Utility

Currently working with a limited range of fixed-lens, SLR, and mirrorless cameras, the Canon EOS Webcam Utility is available in a beta version, so you’re not likely to get support if you run into issues. It’s available for macOS systems running Catalina, High Sierra, or Mojave and 64-bit versions of Windows 10. It is also expected to work with Big Sur once it’s released.

You can plug your camera into your Mac or PC and use it as your webcam, making this utility extremely handy for video conferencing. 

A wide range of Canon cameras currently offers 4K video, guaranteeing that you’re going to stand out during any video conferencing sessions with your team. However, it’s important to note that most cameras have a 30-minute video duration capacity to ensure the cameras don’t overheat, so it’s still unsure whether this rule also applies to the camera when it’s in webcam mode. It currently supports the following camera models:

  • EOS-1D C
  • EOS-1D X
  • EOS 5D Mark III
  • EOS 6D
  • EOS 60D
  • EOS 7D
  • EOS 70D
  • EOS R5
  • EOS R6
  • EOS Ra

EOS Rebel Cameras

  • EOS Rebel SL1
  • EOS Rebel T3
  • EOS Rebel T3i
  • EOS Rebel T5
  • EOS Rebel T5i
  • EOS Rebel T6s
  • EOS Rebel T8i

PowerShot Cameras

  • PowerShot G5X Mark II **
  • PowerShot G7X Mark Ill **
  • PowerShot SX70 HS

The full list of programs is as follows: 

  • Cisco Webex®
  • Messenger
  • Streamlabs
  • Discord
  • Microsoft Teams
  • YouTube Live
  • LIVE Facebook Live
  • Open Broadcaster Software
  • ZOOM
  • Hangouts
  • Skype
  • Hangouts Meet
  • Slack

Once you’ve downloaded the utility and installed it, you put your device into video mode when it’s connected, and select the Canon utility from the various camera sources options available on the video tool you’re using.

On Canon USA’s website, it’s stated that the driver is only supported in the USA. While the driver will also work in Canada, it’s still in the beta phase, and there will be no troubleshooting support available there due to an absence of Canon support in the country. Once you’ve installed the driver, you need to reboot your computer to ensure it works properly. Lastly, there is no audio through the Canon utility; only video is available.

The introduction of this driver will definitely change how video conferencing works and enhance working from home altogether.
