Canon EOS M50 for Live Streaming // Use Capture Card and get Unlimited runtime (Tutorial)

[@Kaiu24]

What will you be using your M50 for once you’ve set it up as a webcam?

@MattMovieMaker sounds awesome dude! And Thanks! Appreciate the feedback! I’m super happy it was helpful! I looked everywhere for s single video that had the solution but couldn’t find one so decided to make one myself!

@MattMovieMaker you can use the eos utility app to make the camera into a webcam. Connect directly via usb, give you autofocus etc but the quality is significantly lower of the video output

Glad this helped! in general you want to set shutter speed manually anytime you record or stream and it should always be 2x frame rate - as a basic rule of video. Super glad this could help though!

Hi. So I’ve been recently been using the M50 mark 2 now for a bit and everytime I open the utility software, the camera still turns off even when I’m still using it. Idk how to get it to work.

[@Kaiu24]

Do you mean the screen turns off or the whole camera turns off? You can change the screen off time in the settings. For the Mark ii also all the stuff in this video is not necessary as it has clean hdmi mode. You should turn that on for streaming and you do not need to use the utility software if you are connected via capture card. Check out my Canon M200 for streaming video on my channel. It will be the same as that

That would put a lot of pressure on the camera, you can always capture a separate video feed coming from the camera. There are ways to do that using elgato game capture app. So you can stream as normal in OBS and then use Elgato Game capture to record the separate video feed from the camera

[@peterpan8147]

Hey, Kaiu, thanks for that great video! May I ask a question - sorry if it sounds stupid. You're always saying "streaming" - but will what which is captured also be recorded? I would like to use your method to bypass the 30 minute shut-off when I record a KZbin video, but from all things said I am not sure if this method is only for streaming or if my camera feed will be recorded. And another question: IF it records too, WHERE to? Onto the PC? Or am I facing then a limited GB on the capture card? Thank you so much again! Greetings from Germany

[@Kaiu24]

Hi! So to clarify I’m saying streaming but I mean more to use it as a webcam for any purpose also. To answer your question, yes you can use the exact same method for recording. OBS or Streamlabs OBS or a similar streaming program can also be used to record your video feed. Essentially, instead of using the program to stream your feed to the internet, you can instead just record it (there is a record button just under the start streaming button on OBS). You wont be limited by storage space on your SD card as it will record to your Computer. The only limitation is as mentioned you wont get autofocus from the camera when using this method. Feel free to jump into my Discord server if you want further help with this.

[@peterpan8147]

@@Kaiu24 Thanks so much! People like you make the internet the wonderful place it is! I just downloaded the Streamlabs software, but listen to that: "This app wants permission to do anything you can do on your KZbin account. For example, it will be able to see, edit and delete your videos, playlists and subscriptions, rate videos, as well as post, edit or delete your comments and captions." "This app wants permission to see the following: A list of current active members on your channel with the name of their KZbin channel and their channel URL The profile picture of each current active member on your channel How long each current active member has been a member of their current level on your channel How long each current active member has been a member on your channel When each member purchased their current active membership on your channel Information about the levels you offer on your channel (e.g., level names)" "View your videos and playlists View your KZbin activity" O.M.G. To bypass this I think I may just open a Twitch account which I won't use anyway, so they can watch me there all they want.

[@Kaiu24]

@@peterpan8147 i personally use OBS instead of streamlabs OBS. I feel its a bit more flexible and I dont think you necessarily have to link to your account to use it. I could be wrong. Yes creating a twitch account for streaming could be helpful to just set this up, you don’t necessarily have to stream on it.

The capture card transfers the hdmi feed from the camera to the pc. Its much higher quality as its through a HdmI cable. So yes if you use this method with the capture card and hdmi cable you will get the same sharpness

[@FerdiCildiz]

I can use my M50 as webcam with USB with EOS Webcam Utility. What's the real difference with this?

[@Kaiu24]

That method is fine for anyone who wants to use it and not worried about the output quality. The big difference is that the max output resolution with the webcam utility is I thing 540p . This is fine if you use as a normal webcam. But if you want to use for streaming on twitch or youtube or somewhere else where you want a higher quality output then this method allows full 1080p resolution and there is a clear quality difference.

[@fredemiller]

Great video! Will this lens work for auto-focus for videos with the Canon M50 on my mac? Thanks!

[@Kaiu24]

Hi. Just to clarify, regardless of which lens you use, if using the M50 for streaming via the method in the video, you wont get auto-focus. This is because auto focus needs to be turned off on the camera and focus set manually so that the focus box doesn’t appear on your video feed. (This is due to lack of clean hdmi support on the camera).

[@tyr1484]

what is the difference when I don't use HDMI only USB is it going to affect the resolution?

[@Kaiu24]

Yes I think USB via the eos utility is max 510p vs 1080p on HDMI. The quality over hdmi and capture card is wayyy better

[@stephaniemartel]

Once you have set everything up, do you HAVE to put it on manual focus? Can you keep it on autofocus? I make art videos so crisp and clear is important!

[@Kaiu24]

With this camera it has to be Manual focus because otherwise the white focus box will show up unfortunately. This is the downside of the M50 which they fixed with the M50 Mark II

[@Rocashu]

real quick help me. when you opened the utility it said tracking face (AF) ON, but you turned it off on the camera to get rid of the borders so you can have a clean feed (you set it to manual) - but with the utility, it's still keeping your face into focus? how does that work....sounds to be like manual focus can go wrong during a stream and next thing you know your busy with gaming and unless somebody tells you your camera will look like sht

[@Kaiu24]

The utility app is honestly just there for added ease of control but with regards to auto focus, once its off on the camera, the utility app wont change that regardless. So the camera will always have to be in manual focus mode otherwise the box stays on the screen which you don’t want. Tbh I don’t see where the manual focus will go wrong as long as you aren’t moving a whole lot during streams. Ive never had an issue with it. I also use a manual focus only lens for my streams so it makes no difference personally to me. Basically if the camera is set to manual focus the utility app wont override that. Utility app is mainly there to stop camera falling asleep

Thanks for the video brother! I’m about to pick up a Canon M 50 and I have a unique situation with quadriplegia and limited arm function. And I am in the process of setting up a KZbin rolling stand with a Microsoft surface pro 6.0 as a monitor so that I can Record KZbin content and record zoom interviews. I may possibly get into live streaming stuff down the road so I wanna make sure I make the best choice for myself. I guess the main question is is will I need to do much fiddling with the camera before I can start some thing. I guess another way of asking it would be can I have someone set things up so I’m good to roll up and then make things happen on my own. I have a stylus strapped to my right hand so basically I have one finger. I have a feeling I didn’t ask this very clearly😂

[@Kaiu24]

Hi! I completely get what you are asking. My personal advice in your case would be if possible spend a little more and grab the m50 mark ii, its much easier to setup for live streaming and the autofocus works perfectly while streaming without the need for all this extra stuff. Otherwise, you can just set everything up the one time and then the only thing you may need to adjust is the focus each time as with the original m50 and this workaround method, the camera has to be set to manual focus (as I mention in the video). If you intend to just have the setup ready to roll over and start recording then you will only ever have to set it all up once and then you just gotta adjust the focus before you start streaming. Hope that makes sense? Happy to answer any questions

@@michael_mathieu_vibrant_health i think the mark 2 is a great starting place. But if you want something a bit more future proof I would also suggest either the Canon R10 (the RF mount will be supported more by Canon) or the Sony ZV-E10 (great camera built for content creators). The Sony is probably a little ahead with some features and especially ease of use for streaming etc. but honestly any of these will be more than fine!

great video, subbed! does EOS utility for M50 works with windows 7? thanks!

[@Kaiu24]

Thanks! Yes it should work with windows 7

[@DeVonMArtis]

Do you have to have a capture card for HDMI out ?

[@Kaiu24]

Yes because computers cant take a hdmi signal in. So to get the image data across you need the hdmi capture card

@@DeVonMArtis if the audio interface is connected to the pc/laptop you should be able to add it as an audio source to whatever software you are using

Hi mate, i get a delay between audio and video using this setup, any clue why and how to deal with it

[@Kaiu24]

With the HDMI and capture card there shouldnt be any delays

same issue

[@RafaelLeeuwis]

Help! I have a problem - as soon as my USB cable connects the camera shows a laptop sign which translates to OBS as well. So I basically can't stream. It used to work at some point, but now I can't seem to get it to work. Any tips?

[@Kaiu24]

You need to connect usb first, then capture card, then turn camera on, then eos utility 3, and obs last, see if that works

[@Kaiu24]

Also make sure camera is in manual video mode

why does it seem like my video is slightly slow on my stream labs screen and stream. is there a setting to press

[@Kaiu24]

Not sure, it may sometimes be quality of cables. Double check connections and cables

[@PeterGunnebro]

Thanks for this great video! I have a problem though that you might be able to answer. I do exactly what you say in the video but when I choose the capture card my M50 is connected to (MAGEWELL USB Capture HDMI) in OBS the colored striped "No signal" screen comes up. Do you have any ideas why I have no signal from the camera into OBS via this capture card (it works with all my other cameras)?

[@Kaiu24]

Im sorry I have no idea why thats happened. Have you found a solution yet?

Does this work on the eos m100 hopefully you see if and maybe you no I can’t seem to figure out how to keep it on. Thanks

I’m really not sure. The m100 was also not built with streaming in mind but you can give the method a go.

hi Kaiu24! great and informative video! Having both micro usb and hdmi cable in at the same time definitely fixed some stuff i was having issues with. Thank you!

Glad it helped!

[@remoherewidsumcarrots]

Does this work with canon m50 mark ii?

[@Kaiu24]

The M50 mkii does not need this method. It already has clean hdmi and unlimited runtime, there should be a setting that activates the clean hdmi and from there you only need to plug in the capture card.

[@dinodallemese4433]

So you did this with a canon m50 mark i???

[@safetyhomeloans950]

Hello. Any input you can provide as. I’ve just upgraded to the m50 mark ii which include clean hdmi yet the color I’m getting within OBS are completely off. Fyi. I’m using the “full” color option under the advanced section of OBS. Yet colors are still way off. Thanks.

[@Kaiu24]

Thats strange, have you checked the picture profile in the camera? Also what capture card are you using with it?

[@vash47]

there's no way to remove the autofocus square with this method right?

[@Kaiu24]

You mean without this method? Yeah this is the only way to get rid of it. Manual mode + toggle display for clear screen

[@ohhcikgu]

So if i want to get clean hdmi, i just use eos utility ?

[@Kaiu24]

Yes and no. The utility lets you keep the camera on for unlimited amount of time (the camera wont shut down or cut the feed. The clean hdmi you still have to hit the info button until all the onscreen icons disappear and then toggle the camera to manual mode to get rid of AF box. The video should explain it all

[@ohhcikgu]

@@Kaiu24 yes ty brother

[@Kaiu24]

Welcome, of course you can also use the eos webcam utility to use the camera as a webcam directly without a capture card but the quality is significantly worse and for me its just not good enough!

[@Whitecloudsss]

Hello, I need some help... I'm using the Canon EOS 800D, I tried to do as per your instructions in the video, but it still doesn't record a video of over 30 minutes. I can see the live shooting in the EOS Utility 3 on my laptop while recording, but the camera still stops at 30 minutes.. @kaiu24

[@Kaiu24]

Are you recording in the camera to an SD card? These cameras have a hard 30 min limit on them for recording. The guide in this video is specific to keep the camera awake for longer than 30 minutes while using it as a webcam for live streaming or meeting, during which you will typically not be recording with the camera at the same time. Unfortunately there is no way around this 30minute hard timer for recording continuously with. Only some of the newer Canon mirrorless cameras from the past 2 years have had this limit removed

[@Whitecloudsss]

@@Kaiu24 Thank you so much for replying~~ I just realised that I misunderstood the purpose of the video... Can I just check with you, even with a recording software like OBS studio, it wouldn't work?

[@devanteford8556]

Now is it an usb hdmi cord or is it just a regular micro hdmi cord

[@Kaiu24]

There are two cords. A regular micro usb cord that plugs into the computer, then a micro hdmi to hdmi cord that plugs into a hdmi capture card (looks like a usb stick but has a hdmi input)

[@UldisBiz]

Wait, do I get it right, with this setup I can keep the camera on + I can use AutoFocus without having an annoying square on top of my face? Please someone kindly confirm. I've been looking for a solution to use my M50 with the same lens you've got for recording videos and using it as a normal webcam. None of the webcams I've got come close in quality to this. I've been considering using SparkCam to achieve this but it looks like it is not necessary.

[@Kaiu24]

So the only thing is the autofocus will not work. The only way to remove the annoying white box is put the camera in manual focus mode

[@Kaiu24]

So the autofocus won’t work. The only way to get rid of the white box is to put the camera in Manual mode, its explained in the video. So this method will 1. Let you use the camera as webcam with a clear view 2. Camera will not turn off after 30mins 3.BUT the camera has to be in manual focus mode to achieve the clear feed.

@@Kaiu24 thank you. I think I will try SparkCam then. I really don't want to trade away Canon's awesome autofocus.

@@Kaiu24 BTW, Canon released their own software time ago EOS webcam utility which sort of solves everything but free version allows for 720p only. Pro requires annual subscription which IMHO is a rip-off from Canon, feels like being nickel'n'dimed.

Hi, I’m trying to use two canon m50s to stream. Is there a way to use the EOS utility with more than one cam to keep them “alive” (avoid them switching off at 30 minutes mark)?

I dont think thats possible running from the same pc/laptop. You could possibly set up the second m50 with eos utility on a second laptop, thats the only solution that comes to mind

With all info screens turned off, sometimes during live feed battery info and exposure pops up without explanation. This can be triggered by going over capture button in EOS utility, but happens also when minimized. Help?
