3 Ways to Convert a dSLR Camera into a Webcam (Nikon/Canon).

[@davecustance3423]

Excellent Tutorial thanks very helpful and clear

Great overview! I use Canon over USB. One difference to the Nikon you mention is that at least the Cabin M50 does not come with a USB cable.

[@TechforToastmasters]

Hey Markus, Canon has always been ahead of the software game compared to Nikon. Nikon make great hardware but they kinda suck at software. They were pretty late to come up with a webcam utility. I prefer the capture card because of the high quality full HD output. It also carries the audio signal so if I hook up a mic to the camera, I get perfectly synced audio video from a single HDMI cable.

@Tech for Toastmasters it does not detect my Canon D200. any suggestions??

[@mohameddzuhairy]

Thank you for the video. I have 1 question, if I use the 3rd option, do I have to buy capture card?

[@TechforToastmasters]

Correct. These are available for $10-$20 these days.

Good video.Very helpful.

I searched a bunch of videos trying to find ways to connect my Canon 6d to my pc and then to zoom. This video was the last one I visited. The software referred to made the connection. I was baffled, bewildered, and yes over whelmed by everything else which allegedly worked for others but not for me. The softward bridged the gap. Will it work for everyone? I have no clue. I just know it solved my problem. I can now use my dslr with z o o m .

[@GaryMeadowsMusic]

I tried my nikon d3200 with nikon utility , no luck, so ordered a hdmi capture card. 1080 P . That should do the job.

[@juangrullon96]

How did it go? I have the same camera and a Mac. Used the HDMI capture card and the video format size is kind of shrieked vertically and expanded horizontally.. did you have the same issue?

[@GaryMeadowsMusic]

@@juangrullon96 yes it worked fine. Haven't used it lately, I'm more into music and was going to use it for music videos. I still haven't got back to that.

[@ricardografites2008]

I want to know how to use the ""NIKON P900"" as a WEBCAM. Does anyone know?

[@i_grind_4_mine_533]

So does SparkoCam make any camera have clean hdmi out since you said it works with even older models. If so could you make a video on how to get rid of everything on your image using SparkoCam?

[@TechforToastmasters]

Sparkocam is not based on clean HDMI. It uses the camera capture functionality of the Nikon cameras to bring the preview screen into your computer as a webcam. It automatically removes all overlays so you see only the clean input in the webcam.

awesome mate .... thanks

[@bonestrada]

do you need an HDMI cable if using sparkocam?

[@TechforToastmasters]

No. It is purely using USB cable

Excellent guidance. I had been struggling to use my older Nikon D5000 as a web cam for Toastmaster meetings involving speeches. My camera doesn't work with the Nikon webcam utility and had tried several software to make it work until I saw this video.

[@bigrahizzle]

what did you do to make it work?

[@ZulfiqarZaidi]

[@piresmusicpt]

hello, i have a nikon coolpix L110. i tryed everything but it doesn´t work

[@pradeepluke]

I bought a capture card and HDMI cable and when the camera is put on live, it is working for zoom. But the problem is the camera live going off after some time as its not recording anything. Anybody know how to keep the camera running throughout the session.

[@TechforToastmasters]

What is your camera? There is normally a setting to keep the live view on.

Thank you

[@henath6729]

This function work in nikon D3200 ?

[@mansoorqureshifoundation3415]

if nikon webcam utility donot support then how you can open d800 with this software?

[@TechforToastmasters]

This software uses the tethering function of the camera to pull out the video feed.

[@ernestessienne239]

Is nikon D7100 a DSLR

[@ahmedalij1988]

👍👍👍👍❤️

[@benzoseffect]

How do I get my nikon cool pix p90 too work????

[@TechforToastmasters]

P90 is a point & shoot camera. This works only for dSLR as mentioned in the title (unless your camera has a HDMI out, which I think the p90 lacks).
