Using a Canon DSLR For Facebook Live

[@shawnbrewsteroldboy]

I can’t thank you enough for this video. It was exactly what I was looking for, zero filler and just concise and efficient information. Very professional job. Thank you.

[@haluhoho]

Saw your newer video using A7III (same setup here), but ended with no result since i don't have streaming devices yet. Found this video instead, luckily i still have the ancient 5D Mark III. Everything is working flawlessly now. Thank you so much!

[@Jordanenespañol]

Thank you so much! This is going to be a huge blessing for my church and I!

[@BrandNewVideo]

You literally made my next gig. Thanks for this video pal!

[@TheRCDungeon]

Thanks for the great video ! I will be implementing these techniques Tonight. Appreciate all the effort you put into learning how to do this for us all.

[@ScottM]

Awesome video Keith and I saved this video to my favorites so I can rewatched it when I get my own DSLR. Keep up the great work.

[@ReefBum]

Thanks Scott!

[@GR1ZL1E]

I've managed to get it working, and have tested it numerous times to ensure it's not random. I'm on macOS Sierra 10.12.3. Here's the process I follow: 1. Connect Canon 600D DSLR via USB and switch into Video mode 2. Turn on EOS Utility (do not go into Live View) 3. Open Camera Live (window will show your camera and in 'Ready' status - do not click on the Camera Live app) 4. Exit EOS Utility (at this point, Camera Live still shows 'Ready') 5. In the Camera Live window, select your camera (in my case, I select Canon EOS 600D) When I select my camera, the status changes from Ready>Starting>Active. The camera responds accordingly by 'reconnecting'. From here, you launch CamTwist and follow the process from there. Hope this works for you guys. Blessings.

[@MakeupbyTrish]

Where is the process. I am having such a hard time getting this to work

[@guerraoficial]

You need to click where it says: ''Se more'' on the comment.... so stupid....

[@DeVonJson]

Hey brother! THIS WAS GREAT! Thank you for putting so much work into this!

[@ReefBum]

I appreciate that!!

[@tailoringfitness1584]

Saved this video for sure saved me a lot of work a head of time thank you for this

[@okvision9342]

will an hdmi cable work

[@ReefBum]

I believe it will.

[@YaoCrack]

Great video!! How do i get the softwares for Windows?

[@FullNelsonEats]

BOOM!!! Super awesome tips, thanks for all the help! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🎉🎉

[@frederiquerijsdijk]

Got this working too with my 5D3. Camera Live is icky sometimes, but it's a better solution than capturing video from the Canon Software (very high CPU load).

[@christopherwalloch1]

Great informational video, just be sure to change your stream key or mask it as others could stream on your behalf.

[@ReefBum]

Great tip.....did not know that.

[@jocelyngovideo]

How do you mask?

[@FernandoGTrueba]

Really helpful video! Wanted to ask if it was possible to stream the video and audio separately? Have a live event coming up and they may want to use the audio directly from the soundboard to stream instead of the on-camera audio. Thanks!

[@ReefBum]

Thanks. I don't have a lot of knowledge when it comes to audio. I know there are different solutions but I didn't want to pay the extra $$ for additional equipment so I went the standard audio route using my iMac.

[@FernandoGTrueba]

+ReefBum Fair enough, thanks for your reply either way! I'll keep looking for a solution.

[@LipBlendzLLC]

There was a step I had missed after you add the "cyphon" you have to make sure to highlight it under source. It's working now!

[@ReefBum]

Awesome!

[@ReefBum]

Ok, some of you have had problems getting the Camera Live app to work. I think I have found a work around in which you don't need Camera Live or the Camera Twist app. Give this a shot and let me know if it works: -Turn camera on and have it plugged into your computer -Open up the EOS Utility and select "Remote Shooting" -Another window pops up. Select "Live View Shoot". -This opens up another window that displays what your camera is shooting -Open up OBS and click on the + sign under "Sources" and select "Window Capture" -Set window to "Remote Live View Window Then follow the rest of the instructions I laid out in the video.

[@gmvalera]

ReefBum I tried this but after following your steps of putting stream key and tried to click next in Facebook it says offline. Would u know what I might need to do?

[@ReefBum]

Have you tried using just the Camera Live App and EOS without using Cam Twist? Start CameraLive, turn on your camera (make sure it is in the video mode) and then launch OBS. In OBS, go to sources and select Game Capture (Syphon) as a source. Hit the gear icon at the bottom of that window to configure and select CameraLive as your source and hit ok.

[@ReefBum]

Did you try the link provided by @Terence Truong? github.com/v002/v002-Camera-Live/issues/8

[@eduardoasta]

It works! But I have the delay problem....

[@ReefBum]

Turn the sound down on your computer to one bar. If that doesn't work then your internet upload speed might not be fast enough or your computer video card might not be powerful enough.

[@mertsezervlog]

Thanks for video. I have a question, how you solved the battery life?

[@ReefBum]

You can purchase an AC adapter for the camera and not use a battery.

[@mertsezervlog]

ReefBum thanks

[@SajiIjiyemi]

Thank you for this great information. What alternative do you have for Windows users who can't use CamTwist? Thank you

[@ReefBum]

You are welcome! Perhaps one of these will work: alternativeto.net/software/camtwist/?platform=windows

[@adekambiadefemi7025]

Nice and simple video i must say

[@palaciosluis.3]

Great video. I have the same setup with a Canon 800D. One question. When you use Camera Live and CamTwist, do you manage to have autofocus? Thanks a lot!

[@ReefBum]

Yes, you should be able to use auto focus.

[@ashtonhironaka2474]

Thank you very much for the step by step.

[@talkoftitusville]

[@ReefBum]

Yes, follow the new guide in the video description, which is much more reliable: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGiWZmeljJxsgZo

[@cityofangelsicc-oc]

Well my attempt ended abruptly when Camera Live wouldn't see my Canon5Dmk3. When I launch EOS Utility I can see it and it works fine... :-/ Will watch the updated video.

[@fabianaguerra3813]

Thank you for this video I was looking just for this video

[@ndarwin]

Thanks for this, great video, really helped. I'm doing a live Q&A at the weekend and am going to try this live for the first time. 5DmkIII through laptop on location. Audio is my only stumbling block, do you know if the usb connection from Canon to Mac can carry audio information ? I'm getting no audio from the camera at all. I'd like to connect a radio mic but connecting it to the cameras mic input has not yielded any sound. May have to mic in through the laptop. Any experience with this?

[@evanthiaksamota]

thank you for this video. So when looking for cameras that offer this feature of live streaming, what is it we need to be looking for in their specifications? Am looking to buy a camera that would enable me to live stream but I am not sure how will I recognise that it does so and people in local camera shops are not particularly knowledgable of the topic. I hope you can help me out. thank you for your video and information! very helpful!

[@ReefBum]

You are welcome. You can check out this link to see which cameras work with Camera Live: github.com/v002/v002-Camera-Live/blob/master/CAMERAS.md

[@Vibracanaltv]

Thanks for the information!

[@karsontager]

Great video and thanks for the tips. One issue I'm having, is pretty sever lag time, any tips? I'm using a Canon 80D and OBS. Thanks again!

[@ReefBum]

Do you have your volume totally muted on your computer or laptop? That caused my stream to buffer....I was able to solve the problem by setting the volume to one bar. It might also be your internet connection and the upload speed....or it could be your video card on your computer.

[@karsontager]

ReefBum Yeah, volume on one and I have wicked fast upload and download. I think it might be my laptop. I also learned that the Canon 80D does't have a clean HDMI out, just from a USB mini to USB which may cause some lag, too.

[@Daniel-ik1cc]

Tks! Works here with Canon T3 in Facebook Live. I need to use SYPHON on OBS config.

[@IronWife110309]

i have a t3 as well and i am doing everything he says in the video (Without camera live or twist) and i can see myself in the OBS but when Facebook live shows me a preview, its black. help! what am i doing wrong?

[@IronWife110309]

what is "syphon on obs config"

[@Daniel-ik1cc]

Hi. On SOURCES (in OBS program) a selected SYPHON. (not VIDEO CAPTURE DIVICE).

[@aquariusasf6993]

thank you so much. gonna try it today

[@klikitzsmith8416]

guna do an isolation live, ty

[@BenSullinsOfficial]

Am I correct in assuming I can just get the blackmagic ultrastudio mini and call it a day?

[@ReefBum]

I am not familiar with that piece of equipment and it may certainly work but that does cost some $$ and my goal in posting tis video was to present a very economical solution that utilizes free apps.

[@BenSullinsOfficial]

I'm trying using that BlackMagic recorder which is easy to setup, but I can't seem to remove the focus box from the stream. Did you run into this at all?

[@ReefBum]

If you use Camera live and OBS there is an option in OBS to add the Input called "Game Capture (Syphon)" and it will inject the stream directly without the focus box.

[@Evolutiondaily]

Great video! Thank you!

[@ReefBum]

You are welcome!

[@marciopluiz]

downloaded everything and followed all the steps correctly. dont get the camera live option to select as the syphon server thou. can you please advise.

[@ReefBum]

That is an old workflow....I recommend you try this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGiWZmeljJxsgZo

[@jdwhitt6999]

Great vid man, thanks! I would've never figured that out!

[@ReefBum]

Thanks. Good luck with it.

[@Hydra92E]

Great video!! Everything seems to work properly all together. Just one big issue, I'm seeing a black screen all the time and Camera Live is mentioning "Camera Error". I feel like this app isn't supporting my Canon EOS C200, is it? I might try this out with someone else's Canon EOS 5D Mark III, but I was really hoping this would work out with the C200 as well.

[@ReefBum]

You may also want to make sure you have the latest version of the Camera Live app. It is called Camera Live-2. I recently had issues myself with the camera being recognized but when I downloaded the updated app it worked.

[@Hydra92E]

Thank you for the advice. I checked it, but I seem to have the latest version. I'm afraid the Canon EOS C200 videocamera isn't being supported yet. Hopefully in the near future! It's still a great video though, absolutely brilliant! I might use this technique on the Canon EOS 5D Mark III.

[@ReefBum]

Thank you! It definitely works well with my 5D Mark iii.

[@visualintake]

Works good thanks! Just need to figure out how to get better audio than my computer mic. :)

[@ReefBum]

You are welcome!

[@selahattincin3291]

I try it with HDMI cable connected to the Elgato cam link capture with 4gb net connection still stream is too slow and the camere stop to streaming. I use my MacBook Air (2019) computer with 8gb hard drive. 😡 I have no idea why is so slow and stuck...

[@ReefBum]

Check the CPU of your laptop when you are streaming. If you have a bunch of other programs open it may cause your stream to buffer. I would also recommend streaming at 720p versus 1080p.

[@selahattincin3291]

ReefBum ReefBum Can you let me know how to set up for best option CPU setting or what ever is on MacBook Air computer and what is the best CPU option on OBS output settings... there is options as >> ultrafast, super fast, very fast, faster blah blaaa :) ... thank you!!

[@ReefBum]

​@@selahattincin3291 I use Fast for the OBS output setting. Use the Activity Monitor on your Mac to see what your CPU is while streaming. It will tell you how much OBS is using up and how much other programs are using. This way you can see what programs are running and possibly hogging up your Mac's CPU .....thus making it easier to know what programs you can shut down while streaming.

[@PeterPanagore]

Excellent and thank you.

[@ClaudemirMartins]

Nice Video, in my case I could do it using Ny Canon 60D + the SparkoCam + OBS Software

[@KINGDOMKONCEPT]

I take it that this should also work with the cannon mark 3 correct?

[@ReefBum]

Yes, that was the camera I was using. BTW, i have just released an updated version of this for both Facebook Live and KZbin. I also provide the steps needed to live stream with a GoPro, mirrorless camera and professional camcorder: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGiWZmeljJxsgZo

[@danielagonzalez1432]

Loved this video! I have both a Mac and an EOS camera. Thank you for finding a way around buying a video converter. Sorry Windows users! CamTwist is for Mac Only.

[@ReefBum]

I do advocate following this new workflow since the Camera Live/Cam Twist method has become unreliable: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGiWZmeljJxsgZo

[@adekambiadefemi7025]

Do you also get the audio sound from the camera in addition to the video?

[@ReefBum]

No, audio comes from the computer or laptop used for streaming.

[@caeklund47]

Great video. Very helpful. Got it to work when testing. Noticed that the audio and video were not well synched. Any ideas of why? I'll keep experimenting. At church tomorrow I'll add a soundboard output into the mic-in on MacBook Pro and see how that sounds. Thanks again.

[@ReefBum]

I have never had an issue with the sound not syncing with the video but I would try another audio source like you plan to do to see if that solves the problem.

[@petenicezz]

i have windows not a mac for the camtwist so what other can i use for windows

[@ReefBum]

Check out the work-around I posted at the bottom of the comments section in the video. I believe you can do this without Camtwist and Camera Live.

[@safa_nettv8456]

Where can we get the links? I am not finding it.

[@HiHaiNgo]

Is there a resolution difference between using the Camera Live App (Game Capture) vs. the EOS Utility Live View (Window Capture) work around? i.e. which set-up is better? pros/cons? THANK YOU

[@ReefBum]

I have not done that comparison but if anybody has please chime in.

[@crisalida2008]

Great video. As a journalist i use to shoot with Canon 70d for Wirecast and Black Magic. The problem is Camera turns off after 30 minutes and It's not good If I'm on air (streaming). Do you know if with your methode limitation time can be fix it?

[@ReefBum]

Interesting. I have not gone live that long so I don't have any experience on that front but perhaps others can chime in.

[@rastaferalan]

It shuts off to prevent damage to the sensor. I'm not sure if there's a setting to disable that.

[@KateVolmanMedia]

Thanks for this. Quick question. Will my camera shut off during the live even if I have a power cord plugged into the battery?

[@ReefBum]

I believe it depends on the camera but some will shut off automatically after a while if the sensor gets too hot.

[@everardocastro6549]

Hi Keith I saw yesterday your video from 2016, on how to use a DSLR Camera for Facebook Live. It’s been really helpful. The only situation is that I’m having trouble with the last version of the Camera Live App. It’s so unstable with MacOs Mojave that I can’t complete the rest of the process for going Live on Facebook (Except for one occasion where I could complete the process, but the Camera Live failed eventually). By the way, I’m using a Canon Mark III, too. My question is… do you know if there is another app besides Camera Live, that I could use to complete the process for going live on FB? Thank very much for your time Keith.

[@ReefBum]

Hi, I revised the workflow on this since the Camera Live app was so unstable. You can follow the steps in this revised video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGiWZmeljJxsgZo

[@NoahMishkin]

Thanks for the demo. One question: I'm using a Canon 80D with external mics plugged directly into the camera (which I can hear when monitoring with headphones from the camera) but I'm not getting the audio working on the computer through the software. Any idea what I'm doing wrong so I can use the mics directly into the DSLR? TIA!!

[@ReefBum]

From what I have been told, buy an audio-extension cable (really cheap and can be found in any store that has electronics (tv's, cameras etc)) and instead of connecting the microphone to the camera - attach the microphone to the computer using an extension cable. This should do the job.

[@NoahMishkin]

Thank you for the response and suggestion. I'll give it a whirl.

[@fdrm2011]

muito obrigada. Você me ajudou muito. thank you so much. You help me a lot.

Hi i have my 550d going through a capture card to wirecast, it all works, the only issue we have is the menu is still displayed in the footage, is there a way to have a clear screen while capturing video?

[@ReefBum]

Do you see the menu on the camera's live view screen? I am not totally familiar with your workflow but I would imagine there is some setting on the camera to fix this.

[@studio808]

I managed to figure it out, it needed an SD card in it, the only issue is have now is i have two black bars either side of the captured video in wirecast, probably due to the camera not putting out 16:9 video, is there a way to do this? thanks for getting back to me

[@ReefBum]

Not sure you will be able to eliminate the black bars on the side if your camera is not shooting 16:9

[@MrHoneybeeScratcher]

Where do you Set window to "Remote Live View Window

[@ReefBum]

Follow these steps: -Turn camera on and have it plugged into your computer -Open up the EOS Utility and select "Remote Shooting" -Another window pops up.

[@Redonkeyulous]

God bless you my friend.thanks for the video.

[@xoanthony]

Just wondering if this setup can be extended to support multiple DSLR cameras. I would like a multicam solution if one is possible

[@ReefBum]

Hmmm not sure about that one. Perhaps some sort of switcher would be necessary to manage the different feeds.

[@pelosmixmaster]

Question: How do you get high quality audio for Facebook live with the canon dslr?

[@therexneffects]

You most likely need a microphone, such as the Rode Go mic.

[@ReefBum]

I haven't cracked that nut yet......maybe a Rode is the way to go.

[@pelosmixmaster]

thank you guys !

[@StephenKwiecinski]

I was not able to get this to work with El Capitan. Any tips?

[@ReefBum]

At what point did you hit trouble? Did you test your upload speed? An underpowered video card can be problematic as well.

[@StephenKwiecinski]

I was able to install the EOS Utility software from disk. However, after several un/reinstalls and installing the updated T3i/600 D drivers from Canon's website, I have not been able to get the software to run. Currently running El Capitan 10.11.6. Upload speeds are OK, checked with beta.speedtest.net.

Is there anyway to do this with mac OS 10.6? I have a t7i and don't want to upgrade my OS because my programs will stop working.

Have you tried it and it didn't work? I believe this worked for me a while ago on an older OS then 10.6.

[@max0ates42]

Are you downloading the EOS Movie Utility or just EOS Utility?

[@ReefBum]

Just the EOS Utility

[@max0ates42]

ReefBum Awesome! Gonna test this out tomorrow night (Jan 23rd) at a show in Nashville. Check out The Middle Ground's Facebook around 11:30 central time.

[@ReefBum]

Good luck!

[@wilecu]

what about the audio? it comes from the camera or the internal mic in the computer?

[@ReefBum]

Internal mic on the computer. Just make sure you turn down the volume on your computer's speakers (1 bar works best) or else you will have some bad echoing and video buffering.

[@Benpauljones]

ReefBum would it be possible for me to plug a chord from a mixer into my mac for sound that is coming from the mixer??

[@ReefBum]

I believe so. I have seen how-to videos on that but I didn't dig into it since I didn't want to spend the $$ on that type of equipment.

[@trantoan4939]

Hey man this is so great. But I want to overlay logo, chroma key my green screen background. Any recommendation?

[@ReefBum]

You would have to buy some streaming software like Wirecast to do that.

Hi, great video. Just wondering if you think this will work with the Panasonic Lumix series of cams? Why is it specific to canon?

[@ReefBum]

You can try it with the Lumix but the work flow and apps are for Canon cameras.

[@petenicezz]

4 application to get it to work. it will slow down the live video

[@ReefBum]

So far that hasn't been an issue for me, although you don't need Cam Twist anymore.

[@completelysaneperson2238]

Can you do this with a eos rebel?

[@ReefBum]

[@mfourmanagement9440]

What do you use in place of camtwist if you have a pc?

You don't need Camtwist anymore. Check out my work around in the video description.

[@marcofonte_videomaker]

Amazing It works Very good

[@ReefBum]

Thanks! Have fun with it!

[@fed02]

Hi, thanks for the video. 1. Does the camera records a copy into the memory card? 2. What happens if the video is more than 30mins? Thanks in advance.

[@ReefBum]

I guess you can record on the camera if you want. As for length, I have live streamed for more than 30 minutes but a camera can shut down at some point to prevent overheating.

[@jonhoward8827]

What about mics plugged into the dslr. Did you get OBS to recognize external audio?

[@ReefBum]

Attach an external microphone to the PC's headphone/audio jack. If you have an external microphone for your DSLR (like the RODE VideoMic) buy an audio-extension cable (really cheap and can be found in any store that has electronics (tv's, cameras etc)) and instead of connecting the microphone to the camera - attach the microphone to the laptop using the extension cable. This should do the job.

[@ReefBum]

Bummer. I have not tried it myself but another KZbinr said it would work.

[@davidjoe7312]

Eos M3 can use this method Live?

[@ReefBum]

[@danielcontreras1386]

whats happend withe the audio source, were it comes from if i use lavalier?

[@ReefBum]

The audio source comes from your laptop or PC, not the camera. You can plug a mic into the jack on either one and you should be good to go.

[@JohnnieTycoon]

Hi Reefum its nice video Thank you so much. However, Im having a problem connecting my EOS R to camera live. When I click at Canon EOS R tab in camera live the status changes from "Ready" to "Camera Error" what could be reason??

Which port on my Cannon camera do I connect to? “HDMI" or the “A/V Out Digital”?

[@Legend-fm8ns]

How to live stream and save the files at the same time?

[@ReefBum]

I don't do this since it eats up more CPU on the computer which may cause the live stream to buffer.

[@ericyare70]

Thanks

[@hossamhaddad7]

So there’s no other way to Connect the camera to the iPad not to the computer and streaming live?

[@ReefBum]

I always like to live stream with a wired connection so I would avoid using an ipad. But if you have to use an ipad use the built in camera for the ipad.

[@ReefBum]

I have all the links here: reefbum.com/photography-videography/how-to-use-a-dslr-for-facebook-live/

Is there any way to livestream with one of Canons cameras over wifi without the use of the USB or other cables to be able to roam free?

[@ReefBum]

I would always recommend being hardwired from the camera to the computer or laptop since you could experience buffering over WiFi.

how do we get live sound in the video as well? please do reply, i am counting on you

[@ReefBum]

If you follow my guide the sound should be there as well. Enjoy!

I've managed to get things working up until getting it to then connect to Facebook. I did it as you say in the video but OBS gave me a black screen... When i use EOS Utility Facebook doesn't appear to connect to the livestream... Have i missed something?

[@ReefBum]

So you never saw the video on OBS?

[@spakadigital]

Yes. . .I am not seeing the video as well on OBS.
