Canon Vixia R800 Video Cam with a USB/HDMI card. No software was needed. I do the same with my phones and SLRs

[@dominionoladoyin995]

Good day I'm using Canon EOS rebel T7, but when I send my live video to my laptop it is lagging. How can I fix it?

[@Scott.Sandifer]

March 2021 _Finally_ got *EOS Webcam Utility* to work with macOS 11 (Big Sur) and my 5D mk IV. If you're able to select the EOS Webcam Utility in your streaming software, but your screen only displays a USB cable with a red X, there's a fix. This is stupid, but here's how. There are 3 Canon utilities you need to work with. *EOS Webcam Utility* (Runs invisibly in the background) *EOS Utility* (Runs up in your Menu bar 'listening' for a camera connection.) *EOS Utility 3* (This is the actual app you use when connected to your camera to do Settings, Live shooting, etc…) The *EOS Webcam Utility* won't run if the other two utilities are running. You have to quit *EOS Utility 3,* and then also must quit the *EOS Utility* that is trying to connect your camera with the *EOS Utility 3.* Good luck. Why are these all separate apps? No idea. But Canon is clearly not a software company.

[@clbazar]

Thanks for this. I can only imagine the frustration that drove you to discover this workaround.

[@itsdavidalonso]

thanks for sharing! How does one confirm that the webcam utility is running in the background? I followed the installation on a macos moneterey but I can't even see the eos webcam utility option

I just got mine and was excited to see your video only to find when going to their website it did not detect my MacOS Big Slur V.11.1 so unless you can point me into another direction I'm stuck. Thanks for the video and efforts you put forth in helping us little guys.

[@rugzakkerreizen]

I have the exact same problem.. :( Does anyone have a (temporary) solution?

[@QCGUY]

@@rugzakkerreizen Yes, when you are at canon usa support website and selected your camera then drivers & downloads select mac os catalina v10.15. Big slur 11.0 won’t work for big slur 11.1 but catalina is working like a charm. The proof is in the last two videos on my channel. 👍🏻

Eos web utility doesn’t work

[@ttweed87]

Great video! A quick troubleshooting tip is if the camera is not recognized by MacOS it is because NFC is turned on. EOS Webcam utility does not work with NFC/WiFi feature turned on and these must be disabled in order to stream.

[@vernonjsmith8126]

What is nfc? And how do you disable it?

[@reeharvey3902]

Watching from South Africa Thanks alot for being helpful 🥰 I loved to be here

[@GregMunning]

Quick question: I just bought the new Mac Book Pro with the M1 chip and the utility doesn’t seem compatible. Is this true? I also have the new EOS M6 Mark ii.

[@ThisIsMeTakingAction]

question that you may or may not know. My canon eos m50 turns off the screen while im using it as a webcam… i can touch the shoot button and it turns back on than 5 mins later it turn off again during my live stream. How can I avoid this?

[@NerdAffiliated]

It does work with autofocus. Sometimes you have to just unplug, turn off and restart. I run my usb cable into my usb hub, and use it with ecamm.

[@RupesMcDGuitar]

That’s the news I’ve been waiting for! Excellent

[@TheKarlKyler]

I need help on this. I have the new Big Sur OS on my mac but it doesn't look like they have a compatible driver for it. What operating system are you using in this video? Are you pre-Big Sur?

[@jothedatanerd]

I had the same problem but downloaded the driver for Catalina anyway and it worked for me. Maybe give that a try.

[@ScottHacker]

How does audio come across then? Through the headphone port in the computer or through the audio jack and mic on the camera?

[@RichMaciverPhoto]

I'm here for this answer too ...

[@ScottHacker]

Using an 80D with the utility, is my sound being gathered by the camera or the laptop mic input?

[@clbazar]

@@ScottHacker Hopefully you’ve already gotten this sorted out, but just in case you haven’t: If you go into Zoom/Settings/Audio Settings, you should see a drop down that will allow you to choose your audio input source. Most folks don’t prefer the audio quality when using the camera’s built-in mic, and opt for an external microphone that can be positioned closer to you in order to get more of you and less of the room, FWIW.

[@ScottHacker]

@@clbazar Thank you

[@clbazar]

@@ScottHacker You bet. Good luck.

I can get the Canon utility to work but the camera does not show up on Zoom or FaceTime. I understand this it doesn't work with M1 Macs with OS later than Big Sur. Is this correct, or is it just me? I have a Mac mini M1

It doesn't seem to work with Mac big sur as there are no softwares for that OS... anyone who knows when there will be new softwares at canon?

@@CoCoFantastique I’ve been doing some research in forums and I just saw a thread that says you have to go from usb-c to usb-c not from usb-c from the camera to usb on the Mac. I don’t have one of those wires, so I’ll have to pick up one. If you have one and it works, please let me know.

Hi there! I'm having two issues with the EOS Webcam utility, and I was hoping you all might be able to help me troubleshoot. After installing the EOS Webcam Utility for Mac, I don't actually see any kind of utility application on my computer. In the installed folder under applications of "EOS Webcam Utility," the only thing I see is the uninstaller. The other issue is that the G7x is not going into any kind of "computer mode" as shown in various videos. Do any of you more tried hands have any suggestions?

[@yadatawan]

Thank you so much

[@deontelindsey5472]

[@dreycosting]

Omar, how can we get by the 30 mins display shut off during live stream using the M50? Do you have a video on that?

[@ShannonTabaldoLMU]

Yes, I have this same issue! I have turned off auto-shutoff on the camera and still happening. Can’t find any info on how to stop it. Does anyone here know?

[@dreycosting]

@@ShannonTabaldoLMU okay, it's a bit complicated. First you need to have a USB cord from the M50 and open the EOS utility app on your desktop, this will let the M50 know not to shut off. Next, connect a HDMI cord from the M50 to the capture card and open your desired app to live stream. You will have both USB & HDMI cords connected at the same time as well as the EOS app open and minimize. Note, you have to do it in that same order above. Hope this helps.

[@ShannonTabaldoLMU]

@@dreycosting thanks but I’m on a EOS 7D with mini USB to USB-c I’m not using a capture card just trying to use for zoom and recording KZbin.
