Use Canon Camera as Webcam with New Canon EOS Webcam Utility Beta Software

News Desk, Time for a DSLR / 29 Apr 2020: Good news for Canon camera holders, you can now use your Canon camera as webcam. This is because of Canon EOS Webcam Utility Beta. Thanks to the free Canon Software that allows you to do so. 

Till date, there was a need to use third party software to use Canon camera as webcam. But now, there is no need to do so. Canon has come up with this amazing software.

This announcement came just a few hours back and this EOS webcam utility software is still in the beta stage. With this, you can use the power shot cameras and interchangeable lens cameras as webcams. This software is quite easy to use. Just plug and play and there you are! The Canon DSLR users with Crop Sensor feature would be benefitted by this because these cameras would not have clean HDMI out. But in spite of that, the software would work pretty well for such cameras.

This video will show you how you can use Canon camera as webcam with the software.
