The video is concise and well put together. Well done friend. I do want to point out that I'm having 0 success though. I downloaded the software with the ILCE-7SM3 driver for my a7Siii and plugged in several USB-C cables. Testing on discord I get a black/no screen, while on OBS it doesn't even recognise the cam as a device. PC remote is set to USB and detected on the cam. Smartphone Control is off. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong at this point. Any tips?

I'm currently using my A7siii as a webcam with my 35mm f/1.8 and its killer compared to using my Panasonic GH5. That eye autofocus is great while I'm moving around. That being said, I still use the HDMI out for it going into an ATEM Mini with a separate mic so I can get it closer to me on my desk. So a MUCH more complicated setup, but dropping the Sony camera in was a really easy switch to do for a huge upgrade in quality.

So we have been using the Imaging Edge Webcam software on a MacBook for some time now (with a Sony a6400) and I can not at all say that it is a great idea to use this if you mainly want to improve your live video appearance compared to a webcam such as the Logitech StreamCam, if you intend to have long sessions. Firstly, the resolution is only 1.024 × 576px. Further, the camera overheats after about 90 minutes and also the usb charging seems not to be able to keep the battery charged as it died from an exhausted battery after about 100 minutes on a separate occasion. For our purposes, we now switched to a Logitech StreamCam which can stream for at least 3 hours. I wonder how you got the 4K resolution since the 1.024 × 576 resolution is what is stated in the guidelines for the software. Care to enlighten us?

So I wanted to use my Fx3 with my Elgato Cam Link 4k and it worked but the fps weren't matching the regular 25/24fps out of the camera on Zoom on my MacBook Pro M1 (only USB C ports). I'm using a USB 3.0 hub to USB C to connect the Cam Link to the Mac and I assume this is the issue. I ordered an adapter female USB-A to male USB Type C (3.1) to see if there's any difference. For now I'm using the Imaging Edge method and it works perfectly fine. So thanks a lot for the video. That being said you won't get the best out of you camera with this method and in terms of pure image quality the Cam Link 4k does a far better job since I had no problem with my a6500 on my PC (Cam Link to USB 3), but I'll try tomorrow afternoon with the adapter.

Any idea why I could have an input delay while using it with streamlabs obs. Seems like there is a half a sec delay which is bit annoying. Maybe it's because Im using it through caldigit instead directly in to the pc :s

This method still works for me in 2024. Specs: Win10, Sony A7iii, OBS Studio. Imaging Edge Webcam v1.1.02.06210 Would the Elgato Camlink provide better quality over the Imaging Edge Webcam method???

@scottmckenna 7 ай бұрын
The CamLink does work better for most cameras, and computers, yes. I think it's more reliable, and higher quality.

Hi Scott. Great video as always. Been waiting for this for ages but for some reason I can't get my A7riii to get beyond 'Connecting ...' with USB below ! I'm on a MBP on latest OS Used the download link and got successful install notification. Tried different USBC cable and different combos of cable in camera on/off. USB connection on PC Remote, Ctrl w/smartphone OFF. Any ideas please ?

Same problem. Zoom or other software will just show the Imaging Edge Webcam logo but not image from the camera. I’m gonna try to uninstall en reinstall, see if that fixes anything.
