Cam Link Setup with a Canon 80D (DSLR) - Clean HDMI Out | StreamDreams

[@MrsShawneeK]

THANK YOU! I have been searching forever to find instructions on how to remove all the white lines and info from the screen... I knew it had to be simple but you are the first person to walk us through it. I would hug you if I could! :)

[@n00dl3s]

It's hilarious how hard it was to find this info. Thank you!

[@teeveedeluxe7940]

Thank you so much for this video honestly this video deserves a million views. I’ve been searching everywhere to find out if my Canon T6i was capable of a clean stream And with the same exact settings that you used I was able to do step-by-step for my T6i. Thank you

[@aarontheboss93]

Happy to help! I will have more videos eventually!

[@RobertoRaymon]

Damn! I have a T7 and a T7i. I'll try to turn off the autofocus, because I was hesitant about downloading magiclink (or whatever it's called)!

[@sodanomusic]

Thanks! Its been YEARS. I had my main camera die tonight and I had to dig up the backup. I knew I did something way back when but forgot about the manual focus. Great video

[@SahilSingh-mh1so]

Props to you man. Putting out quality content. I was looking everywhere for this solution

[@redemption-ministries]

I have seen so many super complex solutions and all I had to do was turn off the auto focus and adjust the time on setting!! The 700D stays! Thanks man 👍🏼😄

[@JDogth3Wise]

Good video! Straight to the point and answered all my questions. I just tried using my 80D with the new Canon software, it was nice but it just convinced me to get the Camlink to really use the full quality.

[@canprince]

You saved me! I spent hours trying to get rid of the focus box, but everyone was recommending Magic Lantern for my Rebel T4i to get clean HDMI output. I had to downgrade the firmware, install Magic Lantern (which I didn't need nor was planning on using), only to find out that changing to manual focus gets rid of the box (🤦‍♂). I wish I had discovered your channel & video sooner. Thank you for your help. Now looking forward to watching other videos on your channel.

[@lacuatrista]

Thank you so much! I saw some videos and this is the best. You explain very well and easy. Thank you again.

Excellent bro thanks I was so stressed out trying to figure out how to get it in manual mode

[@nelangomba2606]

Thank you so much!!! I was already discouraged because I couldn't find anyone that explained it so well. I saw some other vids where you have to download stuff and change settings in your camera... no thanks. Your way of doing it is so simple and no risks involved. Thanks again!!

Thanks, this was really helpful. When streaming, will you need to click, "record" on the camera as well?

Nope, just turn the camera on, fire up OBS on the PC its connected too, and record from OBS!

I used a less expensive capture card with my 80D. But, I keep on seeing 00:00 on my screen. Can you help me with this, please? So far, I have not been able to use this setup for Zoom or Google Meet. Thank you.

[@perljungstrm5348]

Great session, appreciated as it is not very clear how to do these setups , at least for those who need the Canon streaming for dummies (-: , not sure if this will work with the EOS utility for e.g. Windows 10 (loaded the tool, shows the X connection as "red" (broken) , and I'm using Canon 600D , but I have to admit - I'm not using the Cam Link 4K - I'm going to buy that one. Canon do not show this kind of video's - thanks again

Thank you my man . I'm struggling to use the audio through my canon 80D into OBS ..can if be possible for the audio to go through the canon camera I'd so help me sir. Thank you I'm advance

[@aarontheboss93]

Hey Elijah, I actually haven't tried this. I would imagine for it to work you would have to set your Windows computer's microphone source to the cam link as well. With that in mind, make sure you have your audio settings set in your camera as well. However, unless you are using a lavalier mic or other mic extension on your camera, you should avoid using that micro phone. I personally would use an XLR microphone, or a USB microphone plugged directly into your computer. Most modern cell phones are great to us a microphones as well. Hope that helps!

[@MeekAndBackFirE]

Great content. Question: Is it possible to keep the camera LCD display on while feeding to the PC/Laptop?

[@SementesCem]

The best way to quit the square is asking to Magic Lantern to include Canon 80D to the next update. The Canon 70D with Magic Lantern can stream with AF. But not 80D yet. How we could do that?

[@thomaspjohn8600]

Hey... What should i do with face recognition box popping in my screen??

[@firstclassghana]

thanks for your teaching i really appreciate that

[@AngeliqueStidhum]

I find that I have to manually refocus every time I turn the camera on. It’s not within arms reach so this is a serious pain. Have you found a way to lock in the focus? Why does it do this if it’s manual?

[@onnowesterman6286]

Yesterday I was testing camlink. and indeed info but that was turned off by the display button those boxes I could not get rid of.. Tnx for the info. I have also a Sony a 58 which has no clean hdmi output but could be turned of by using the small button down the cam right side near the lens, if you push it you hear click. the info is gone. so tape of that button and clean output. About Canon strange things is though that I searched for clean output and some said that it has no clean output... well not on AF but still on manual Focus. Tnx for info it was a great help.

[@opcommediagroup]

Hi! this is helpful. There are still some icons on my 80D screen: Battery, videocamera icon, Q, find and exposure. It doesn't matter how many times I click on the "info" button. Any ideas? I don't have the Cam Link, but I do have the ATEM Mini Pro. Thanks!

[@CorisCorner]

Do you ever get like a glitching/flicker whenever you use the 80d as a webcam?

[@ThomasLoyd]

One can only hope that one day Canon will send out an update to flash the camera so this annoyance is not. Its funny that their prosumer video cameras all send out clean HDMI feeds but not their DSLRs like the 80D. Ugh. Thanks for the video confirming what I found out but kept trying to deny as I spelunked all the way through the various menu options on the camera.

[@LukeIrvin]

Great video! One issue I am facing is my output looks super fuzzy / grainy. My set up is a 2020 Mac Book Pro, using a USB dongle. I also have a mini HDMI to HDMI adapter. I have that plugged into my Canon 80D -> HDMI to HDMI into my Cam Link 4K. The Cam Link 4K into my USB hub, then the USB Hub to my MacBook Pro. Could any of this be the issue? Should I try to switch to a HDMI mini to HDMI cable & remove that adapter?

[@onnowesterman6286]

I just tested to get clean output .works. but your issue I have also the same setup with adapter in cam and then the hdmi A out to camlink.. my screen is pure not fuzzy nor grainy. maybe the lightning was not good for that is also a reason for grainy and fuzzeness.

[@joonajks]

Would manual focus be just as good for gaming streaming In your opinion?

[@aarontheboss93]

I use manual focus when i am streaming! As long as you stay in one spot its really not an issue. A second monitor would help you see your obs though to see how you look. Ive realy had 0 issues staying in focus!

Awesome vid! As soon as I heard your music I immediatly recognized Harris haha. Great video and straight to the point. I use a eos 60d through obs. I've tried streaming through a camlink w/ mini hdmi and have switched my cam settings for a clean hdmi out. However, after 30min the camera seems to go into idle mode and I have to reset it. It''s set to never shut off, live view, movie mode ect. I couldn't figure it out. The weird thing is when I use a usb and the canon utility I can stream nonstop, but it's not as good quality. I don't want to use usb but I haven't been able to find anyway to keep it on with the hdmi to capture card route. I've looked into magic lantern as well but no go. Looking forward to more videos

[@TheValentineShow]

Did you find a solution to the 30 min problem?

[@tylercravens4226]

@@TheValentineShow Yes I have. I ended up using an app called sparkoCam. Probably not the best but until I get a different camera it''ll do. But you have to use both usb and hdmi to the camera for a clean feed and to avoid the 30min shutoff.

[@aarontheboss93]

@@tylercravens4226 @The Valentine Show Elgato has a decent website where you can check camera compatibility with Cam Link. Some cameras have auto time off features that can't be disabled in camera, so probably wouldn't be the best streaming cam unless you had a workaround.

[@pixelrangerstudio86]

the problem with this method AND nobody talks about is that you DON'T get the 1080x1920 output through hdmi... because it's not a clean hdmi out line. What you get is the resolution of you canon screen back on your camera. So, yea its crappy. It looks nice thorugh yt videos it might look nice on your stream if you make small on a corner. Instead of this method use the Canon software through USB cable, then you get a really good quality full hd image. I know because i spent my entire day, yesterday playing with all the options...

[@aarontheboss93]

Hi - Sorry to hear your having problems. I don't quite understand your question. If you are referring to the camera turning off after a set period of time, you need to go into your settings and turn off the "auto off" feature. If you are referring to your LCD screen turning off once the camera is connected via HDMI, you would be better off opening OBS on your computer, and adding a Cam link source to monitor/watch your screen. I hope that answers your question! Good luck.

[@Eddiebrendan]

how do you output audio for the livestream via hdmi. thanks

[@aarontheboss93]

There may be a way of doing that, but i am u familiar. I use an external mic and mixer board which plugs driectly into my pc. You could do it differently, but there are a ton of ways to do a mic. The cheapeast would be a usb mic that plugs into your pc, or apple headphones could work too.. even your phones recording then uploading etc.

Sorry to hear, im not very knowledgable with Mac computers. One thing i forgot to mention is your camera mode. You want to make sure its in movie mode. The switch has a red camera icon and a start/stop button. Make sure your cam is turned to movie, and you hit the start button. Your cam link should have a light on when it is getting signal.

Hmm not sure about the Eos 77. I would check Elgatos Cam Link compatibility site. Has good information on which cameras have the ability to work well with cam link and clean hdmi puts. I believe the site is linked in the details. Each camera has different settings, unfourtanately some work better than others, not sure about that one.

[@aarontheboss93]

Hey, sorry to hear your having issues! Its hard to tell without seeing everything, but make sure your shooting mode switch is turned to the movie/recording setting (red camera icon), and I keep my dial mode to "M". I have found that sometimes when you switch the camera to the Movie/Recording (red camera icon) shooting mode you have to click the start/stop button to get the shutter to open and send the source to your PC. Try that - and the open your SLOBS Cam Link settings, deactivate the source, then reactivate it. I hope that helps! If not feel free to join my discord and I can try and help you troubleshoot some more. Good luck!
