I have been using the Fuji X webcam utility thing for almost a year now. Works great. I also use the Canon EOS 200 D. One tip - Get as long a cable as possible for ultimate lens choice.

[@tombuck]

Yes! A good, long cable is important.

[@SasukeDG]

I would like to share my experience with Canon 700D (Camera -> EOS Util / ML -> OBS -> Other Apps) 1.EOS Utility is perfect clean hdmi, low temperature, battery last for 90-100mins (per 1x LP-E8) but low-resolution output 2.Magic Lantern via mini hdmi + capture card also perfect clean hdmi with more option/setting, drain the battery so fast and cause camera from 35 -> 54'C in 10 mins (ambient 31'C), battery last for 60 mins Personally, I went to choice 1 with battery grip (2x LP-E8) and video conference with my team 2hrs a day. Magic Lantern is better video quality it's not good as a still image but you will notice by comparing with EOS Utility but overheat is the main issue. If you living in a country like under 20'C it should no problem

[@tombuck]

Thank you for this! It'll be super helpful to. anyone with that camera and/or anyone wondering how Magic Lantern affects things.

[@Aevyn]

This eos webcam utility works great with my canon t7. I use a nifty fifty lens for the bokeh but obviously this means I need to place the camera like 20+ feet away to get a good shot. So I've found that the other program "Canon EOS Utility" is a great addition, it lets me set the iso, aperture, frame rate, focus, literally everything I need to get a good looking shot, straight from my computer with a live video feed showing me the changes in real time

[@tombuck]

Awesome! Love the 50mm look 👍

[@waibashi]

Thank you, Tom, I bought the Rode PSA1, and I really enjoy it! I had the Neewer IMPROVED arm before and it exploded lol. I really wanted the Rode PodMic but something I would love to see is the PodMic vs. Shure SM7B in rejecting noise in a very loud environment! Currently, my office is next to my HVAC room in the basement and it's loud. The Shure SM7B does an amazing job rejecting every background noise! but man ...the price tag is hefty. Gonna test it for 30 days. But I would love to see a comparison in loud environment between these two mics !

[@tombuck]

I do have my PodMic vs SM7B video, but I don't know if that gives you the test you're looking for. I would say both mics are pretty equal though.

Chances are it's "too old" to be supported, but it's always worth a try. And it should work with an HDMI capture card.

[@FunnyOldeWorld]

I have a 750d which when i use with Utility its great picture BUT the audio lags on any stream recording :( How do I sync the audio?

[@tombuck]

This is a normal thing that happens when capturing audio. Typically you'll need to add an audio delay with an application like Ecamm or OBS.

[@chickensepreme1972]

Go pro also has a webcam software if you don't like how your camera looks.

[@arthurgcab]

An extra thing from the Webcam Utility is that my Canon 40D works with the driver from the 60D. Sure it is 3:2, but still at least it is better than my laptop potato cam. Been using it for about 3 months now without problems. Not saying problems will arise, as the camera wasnt quite thought out with video in mind (using the sensor for an extended period of time). Also the quality is some 500ish-p, as it transfer via USB 2.0. But as said in the video, give it a shot, worst that can happen is nothing lol Amazing explanation and video!

[@tombuck]

I'm glad it's working! I think this is an awesome way to bring new life to older gear. I remember desperately wanting a 40D when they were new, but it was way out of my price range.

[@bulcub]

Thanks for the links bro! now I have options to use other cameras!

[@tombuck]

Glad to hear it!

[@EthosAtheos]

I've tested it with a 5dmk2 and 7dmk2, you can override the max record time by removing the recording media and disabling the auto shutoff timer. I've tested it and been able to stream for over 1 hour before the battery died. I assume with the wall power adapter it would run longer.

[@tombuck]

Wow, that's awesome to hear! Those are still some terrific cameras.

[@mariemuller838]

The autofocus is slower because the processor is used to compress and send video over usb and not all resources are available for autofocus on some cameras you even get this when you record over hdmi.

Interesting 🤔

LOL....don't ever expect that from Canon. Well not until about a decade after Panasonic, Sony, Fuji and a few other have had theirs out in the marketplace. And even then there will be some caveat like you can do 240 fps but only at 720p and 10 bit recording footage will for some strange reason be cropped.

[@tonykeltsflorida]

I now use Bandicam and Canon EOS webcam together to record from my Canon Rebel SL2. It looks good on the 24mm f/2.8 lens. I had to get a USB extension cable because it needs to be 6 feet away from my computer so the tripod isn't on top of me LOL. 540p on facebook, 480p on KZbin.

Hey Tom, With the Canon 5D Mark III I have black bars all around the corners of the picture (so that the virtual background is confused by that) - however the quality is great! When using the Sony A7C I have an awfully low resolution so that eventually a MacBook Air/ iPhone Webcam looks way better I guess eventually I will still need to use the ATEM Mini to make it look the best & the way I want to

There are definitely a lot of variables in a setup that can affect overall quality, but it’s a nice option when it works.

Works on my Rebel T5. Using OS Big Sur, so I was worried until I did a firmware update. I connected my ATEM Mini Pro and dragged the full page ZOOM output over to one of my four ATEM inputs. A little rough from a resolution point of view, but it works.

Another great video Tom! Question - we just paid for the year long subscription to Streamyard that allows us to stream in 1080p... if I understood what you said, does that mean we're not technically streaming in that resolution so we basically paid for an upgrade that isn't actually functional?? I think we could tell the difference before we switched from 720p to the 1080p plan but now I'm not sure anymore.

[@tombuck]

Hmm...this is a good point. I have a feeling Streamyard is upscaling the footage, so technically the stream is in 1080, but the input from the camera isn't. Your stuff always looks great though, and your graphics/titles are at full 1080 resolution since they're coming from Streamyard, so I still think it's worth it.

I am happy they made the utility...but, it is driving me nuts. I can't use anything extra or it will not work (bought a stream deck, but can't use it).

I am saving for a Canon (the EOS-R ) so I won't have to use the utility. ;) Thanks for making this video!

Very constructive video. I have got one question. I wanted to do video reaction using OBS and my Canon M50. Do I need Cam Link (capture card) or do I need to download Eos webcam utility only ?

[@tombuck]

You can use either/or. Webcam Utility is limited to 576p whereas the CamLink will give a signal up to 4K 👍

@@tombuck Okay, Thank you so much and keep up the good work!

I've recently got an ATEM Mini, after I saw your video about it... However, when using my Canon EOS750D Camera, I can't get rid of the focus box... Is there any way to get the EOS Webcam Utility Output to the ATEM Mini?

[@Agrossmt]

I spent an hour on help with Canon tech support and got a dead end. I have a Canon R5 and a MacBook Pro M1 from 2021. I was simply trying to use it for Zoom, and it needed this EOS Webcam Utility. The Canon R5 is recognized by macOS and works fine with EOS Utility 3 for live view, but the camera isn’t being detected by the EOS Webcam Utility Pro software. Despite trying multiple machines, cables, and troubleshooting steps, the camera won’t show as a video source in the webcam utility. Any ideas?

What is that on the top right hand corner of your pc at 9:57mark?

[@tombuck]

I think what you're seeing is one of my lights that's next to the monitor.

[@learnenglishwithnilesh4143]

I tried with my 200D Mark II... but while recording video is delayed and sound and video mismatched 🙄 what to do ..?

[@tombuck]

That's a common thing that can happen. You should be able to create an audio delay in whichever streaming software you're using to help everything sync up again.

[@kicksandshots8226]

How can I close all this information and digits buttons in the software when I start the utility software in obs?

[@eulogiojegantonio7302]

question, please answer, after i downloaded the webcam utility I cant find the application to open, pls help, thank you

[@tombuck]

It's not a specific application, but should show up as a video source in whatever streaming or conferencing software you're using.

Hi Tom, in my eyes, your videos have good color balance. Are you using any LUTs? I am using this M200 for streaming but I feel like I can add a LUT to make it look better.

[@tombuck]

Thank you! I don’t use a LUT, but I did make a Final Cut preset (I did a video about it a few weeks ago and you can download it for free at himynameistom.com/downloads). The biggest thing for me is getting the white balance and exposure right, then it’s easy to make some adjust,Mets to the color.

[@theKbassistToronto]

@@tombuck I see. I'll try playing around with White Balance then. Thanks!

[@dondarling3275]

Tom did you say this worked with your Mac Mini? I can't get the webcam utility to install on my 2015 MacBook air with os x el capitan 10.11.6. Do you know if there is a work around, or is it time for an upgrade?

[@tombuck]

It’s working fine with my Mac Mini. It should work with the 2015 if you install the El Capitan version 🤔 If all else fails, the elgato camlink is absolutely worth the price.

[@dondarling3275]

@@tombuck You're the best. In fact you make me want to go back to school. Your students are very lucky.

[@prodelhidrivers]

What do I do about the audio lag ?

[@tombuck]

Most streaming software will let you add an audio delay to get things back in sync. 👍

[@megathepodcast]

Has anyone gotten this to work with a Canon EOS Rebel SL1? So far have not been able to get the camera recognized by the Canon Utility.

[@YuriyDtv]

and this ladies and germs why you watch few videos and most resent onces befor you buy bunch shit you dont need when thngs been updated or give for free from manufacturer ;) thanks for the video

[@michaelnewmanphotography]

Using a R6. I'm getting the dreaded red X when I try to set it up as a capture device in OBS. I am running an older Mac Pro (on Big Sur) and using USB C to USB 3.0 cable. If I open up EOS Utility 3 it shows up for live view, so I know it's connecting. I have also tried to use this directly in Facebook to go live and it's the same red x. Is my USB cable bad?

[@tombuck]

That's strange since the R6 is so new, it should be working fine. You said that you're using the correct cable, but my instinct in these situations is to always start troubleshooting by swapping out the cable. Once I find one that works for sure I usually attach a little label to it so I never forget 😁

[@skl15enik]

I have a same problem with the new M1 macbook pro. Zoom doesn’t find the webcam utility. Everything is updated. Maybe we need support for Big Sur. 🤔 🤞🏻

[@tombuck]

It seems to be hit or miss. It works sometimes for me on Big Sur, but not consistently, which might be why Canon doesn't officially list it yet.
