How to use the EOS 550D as a webcam

Gui2025 — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 14:11:19 GMT

Hi, I just bought a Eos 550d in the hopes that I could use it as a webcam (for zoom)

Unfortunately, it seems like Eos utility is perfectly compatible with my mac (running Sonoma 14.0) but, although I can see the camera image on the Eos utility app, it wont show itself as an option on Zoom settings.

i then uninstalled the latest EOS Utility and installed the last version that supported my camera. This time, when I open this older version of EOS, it won’t find my camera.

Could anyone shed some light?

You need the canon EOS *webcam* utility, but your camera is not compatible.

You can get the free version and try it, but don't expect it to work.
