I would like to say a big thank you to this channel and the producer of this video. I was about to go crazy with this EOS M50 Mark II. Thanks to this video I didn't throw it at the wall and destroy it! You gained a subscriber. Thank you very much...... From the bottom of my heart very grateful. Big arm from me, Mr Marcelo Mello and from the @TUDOENSINO channel.

Great video. Can you tell me now to disable the "time out " feature on the Canon M50? I am connecting the M50 to OBS via Cam Link , and after a couple of seconds, the screen for the M50 on OBS goes black, and I have to hit the "info" button on the Canon M50 , to make it appear again. Can you tell me now to get it to not "go to sleep" so frequently ? Thank you!

[@1Wayfix]

This video has too much value for me. Thank you su much.

[@MIRAJADESIGN]

On a mac there is a program call Camera Live that works with the M50 to provide a “Clean HDMI” and prevents the auto shutoff. There is also a program for Windows that does it but I don’t remember the name.

[@LegendGary213]

There’s one on Windows called sparko cam I believe. Also it can sometimes be a resource hog and it’s not a free software to get all the features.

[@MIRAJADESIGN]

@@LegendGary213 I completely switched over to ECAMM Live because Camera Live will only work with one Canon camera and I have 3. ECAMM handles this beautifully and also lets me add in my 3 IOS devices.

[@safetyhomeloans950]

Sir you need to do more videos, I like your smooth low tone way of teaching things. I really appreciate it. Lastly, I did not see the link for the "dummy battery pack" can you please provide us with the link on where it can be found and before I forget can you provide us your PC or Mac specs to see if ours fall in line to use the 1st Method. Gracias compa.

[@LegendGary213]

I have updated the link to the AC adapter ( bit.ly/2Kj7nQP ) that includes the dummy battery. Yeah, My specs for my PC are listed in this PC partpicker list. ( pcpartpicker.com/list/2d6wkd )Thanks man, And i appreciate you spending time watching the video.

[@RobertPenner]

I use SparkoCam to get clean output from my Canon M50 and use it as a webcam. It's not free but has a lot of good features.

[@drutgat2]

Thanks very much, Gary. That was great.

[@pianizzimo5415]

it's a great video, and very informative. Do you have any advice about the little delay on OBS when using method one? Do you have a specific kind of micro USB?

[@LegendGary213]

Thank you! This video is kinda old now, Canon has released a much better way to use your camera as a webcam in OBS. It is called Canon Webcam utility which is the better way. With this utility you just use a USB to your camera and connect in OBS using the Canon Webcam utility in the drop down of the video sources. If you still having delay issue, at least with my experience with EOS R, if i use face tracking or eye track AF it causes delay. i use either single point or the large box AF. I hope this helps.

[@SmartMindAcademy]

Thank you.. Really appreciate your effort

[@TIMOVIPER]

so my eos utility turns off after 30 mins.. any idea how to fix this??

[@denmarksoul1184]

If you are using HDMI then connect the other port to a usb port. If you use both the HDMI and usb simultaneously this works. This only works with HDMI.

[@ДжонСмиф]

Thank you so much, exactly what I needed, Recently purchased it at best buy great camera excellent video, fantastic background music

[@HooksHollands]

I plan to use method 1 with my M50 to livestream a q&a video on my channel. I've never done this before, so forgive the naive question, but what would be the EASIEST (I'm old) program to use to bring this feed to my channel but still have the best quality possible on a 3Mbps upload speed? OBS, StreamYard...? Thanks in advance, and thank you for this vid!

Thanks for much for creating this video!! Just what I was looking for!

[@SatchelSwede]

Dude the sigma 16 for efm is 🔥

[@DimaWild]

There is a way how to avoid 30m limitations... you should plug in the USB cable with HDMI at the same time the same PC... but for streaming use only HDMI + Capture card. So 30min limit will no longer repeat. But thanks anyway good content

[@LEVI-hj1yw]

When connecting the HDMI and USB cable at the same time it does not renew to HDMI only to USB, do you know how to fix it?

[@Beautoriaa]

I'm using a micro HDMI on the camera to my capture card for streaming in Streamlabs obs but it still turns off after 30 mins, if you have a moment can you help me out on this? I'm not sure if this is your answer but i still don't quite understand it ):

[@danielguitard5728]

[@JustMyTiktoks]

Quality is amazing on your end as well

[@GhettoFilipino]

did u use HDMI cable or just a usb cord

[@LegendGary213]

First method only Micro USB cable and second method only HDMI.

[@PhiferFootball]

Question! So I don’t have to buy the Elgato capture card? I can pretty much get the same quality using the free EOS from canon? How do I hook up the camera to the computer using method 1? MicroUsb to USB? Or? Thanks!!

[@LegendGary213]

Yeah correct, So you'll use the EOS utility software and use microUSB to usb for method 1. Canon recently released the Canon eos webcam utility that makes the camera into a webcam without going through all these hoops. However that software is currently in beta right now.

[@PhiferFootball]

LegendGary323 can anyone get the beta? And is method 2 going to be way much better than method 1? Thanks!:) I’m hoping to get an m50 but I know I’ll need the power cord to have continuous power

[@LegendGary213]

@@PhiferFootball Yes, it is a open beta. Ive been planning on doing a video about the beta software. And will depend due to both pros and cons. I will say new method 3 the new Canon webcam utility beta is very promising. And thanks for watching

[@Tvj_films8452]

[@DavidWinterDrums]

A quick question, possibly a stupid one! What micro USB lead are you using? I can only find 2.0 micro USB which causes a bit of a lag...

[@AlejoConejo-vb8ln]

Quick question: Does recording through OBS bypass the 30-minute recording limit of the camera?

[@ryonnl]

I would recommend the canon webcam utility software, then you can just use it as a video capture device

[@LegendGary213]

Yeah, this. I made this video before that software was released. Canon webcam utility stream lines it and makes it so much more easier.

[@BrianKouhi]

I use method two (Elgate Camlink 4k), and the feed from the camera freezes after a few seconds. If I change the camera settings in OBS.. it goes active again and I can see the feed, but then freezes within 2-5 seconds again. any ideas what could fix this? ~Thanks!

[@exclusivelynyc]

Great video. Any lag in the 1st option (usb). I here there's lag in the sparko cam app. Is this better?

[@theoriginalmurphy5015]

Can you push 1080p at 60 FPS for method 1 & 2?

I will broadcast to zoom, trial show bad audio - I believe due to the cpu etc consumptions mentioned as con in video. My classes are longer than 30 mins ie I need to go for usb solution. What tweaks and settings can I do to improve the resource situation? Thanks for great vid!

[@GilAzevedo]

Now you can install the canon webcam utility. Still in beta but it works great in obs.

[@LegendGary213]

Gil Azevedo yeah, I’ve been messing around with it. I plan on doing a video on it. It’s definitely a game changer.

[@Kimbyrleigha]

People keep saying this and I’ve seen no evidence on my end even on the phone with canon that this works, is there some kind of settings you have to have in OBS because I’ve been using OBS for a year with no problem with my logitech and as soon as I try to put in my M50 nothing on my screen it’s a black screen with nothing on it no matter what I do even if it’s showing up in EOS.

[@GilAzevedo]

If you have the Canon Webcam Utility installed in your computer, when you select video source in OBS it should appear "Canon Webcam Utility" as source. Select it and that's it! :)

[@springwilliams659]

Please excuse my ignorance; for method 2, will the boxes be seen by the viewer when recording also?

[@hightoneentertainment]

I did everything you mentioned here and my video is a little grainy and pixelated. How do I solve this? The camera screen is clear as can be but the computer screen/obs has a slightly blurred picture. Please help

[@uniworkhorse]

Clean, very helpful video!

[@FRANCESCOANDRIERI]

Hi good video... I din't understand if is possibile to record 4k video with canon m50 and elgato camlink 4k on obs, becouse on elgato official site web they wrote, max resolution out 1080p it's true or false?

[@tamconti862]

Thanks man. Been wondering whether to buy a capture card and/or a mirrorless cam with clean hdmi, but method 1 provided an option to try out first. If i may ask, is there a way of recording the video livestreamed with this setup? tia

[@LegendGary213]

From your question i am assuming you want what you lived streamed as a recording saved on your computer as well? If that is what you want then yes, Within OBS you can set it up to have it recording while you're live streaming and once you end the stream or the recording it will save a recording of what you was streaming onto your PC. You can also do recording only within OBS if you dont want to livestream but would like to create a video. I hope that made sense and answered your question.

Very useful man, thank you. Any update for differences using Cannon Webcam utility vs the Cannon EOS Utility? And also any known methods to overcome the 30 minutes record limit?

[@LegendGary213]

Thanks! And i havent done a difference video between the 2, however i will say the Canon Webcam utility is better and i have been using nothing but the EOS webcam utility since it released. it doesnt use much resources, its reliable, you dont have 30 min shut off limit. I definitely recommend the EOS webcam utility. Thanks for watching.

[@eli-shulga]

@@LegendGary213 you still get the 30 min for recording limit thought right? Any ideas how to overcome that too?

[@LegendGary213]

@@eli-shulga well when using the camera with these softwares, you dont use the record function of the camera you are just using the view from it. So when using the Canon EOS webcam utility with your camera with OBS and xsplit you will not have to worry about the 30 min issue. Now if you want to use the record function of the camera and save to your camera memory card then no i dont think there is a way to avoid the 30 min for recording. I hope that made sense.

does it shut down in usb method or only in hdmi mode?

Yes, I failed to do a follow up video on the canon webcam utility, besides that they're models that can utilize the canon webcam utility which was announced and released after my video. it works much better here is a link bit.ly/3i6iLBE you can also look up better videos other than mine that can explain it better. Check the supported cameras for this app to see if your camera is supported.

[@therealyaya8219]

Hey good video! But when I put my camera in it’ll be on for 10 seconds then it goes black, how do I fix that

[@LegendGary213]

Hey, thanks! So these method aren't the best method anymore ever since Canon released their Canon EOS webcam Utility. I made this video before they released that software. I suggest downloading that and installing that. Its a much better and cleaner solution through USB, the way it works is whatever program you're trying to use set the source to the EOS webcam utility in said program just as if you were to set a normal webcam as the source. Hope this helps.

Thank you helped me a lot, I had been searching a ton of videos. The problem I had was when I connected my camera and installed the drivers but in obs it doesnt show my external camera option it is just showing my old camera. Now in method one had to use windows capture instead of video capture

Go to settings folder and DELETE EVERYTHING. Then reboot and open OBS it will be like starting over. Then, instead of adding old camera just follow this tutorial

[@Jana-cj2yk]

Are you able to use the elgato HD60s instead of the slgato cam Link? And also, I have a MacBook pro, so what is the difference between using OBS and stream labs OBS?

[@LegendGary213]

You should be able to use the elgato HD60s, if you have a video delay with your elgato HD60s then you'll have to add a delay to the source. OBS studio is a barebones OBS so like for stream notifications and alerts you'll have to add them and set it up yourself. While stream labs OBS has the stream labs function built into the OBS software so you wont have to add stream alerts and notifications since its built into the software. You'll just have to set it up. Stream labs is a site that streamers use to have their alerts setup for their streams. I also believe streamlabs OBS is only avail for windows, so unless you have your mac bootcamped with windows installed its not going to work on MAC OS.

[@Jana-cj2yk]

[@Jana-cj2yk]

LegendGary323 perfect! I really appreciate it. You also mentioned that if I use the HD60s instead of the cam link I would have a delay and I would have to add a delay to the source. How would I accomplish this? I just really would like a capture card that would not only capture from my camera but also from my Xbox one, switch etc for when I’m streaming. And I would hate to buy two separate capture cards.

[@LegendGary213]

@@Jana-cj2yk I dont think the Elgato HD60s needs a video delay added, but if you do get things setup and do need it you can reach out to me and I can explain how to do it. Also unfortunately if you want to use your camera as your webcam using the elgato and capture your consoles at the same time it wont work with one capture device. You'll only be able to capture one source with that capture card unless you buy another capture device. And no problem hopefully i was able to help.
