So my wife films make up tutorials with our t5. she was wondering if there is a way to hook it up to her laptop or anything so she can see herself well filming to adjust angles or anything.

Install EOS Utility.

With most Canon flip out screens, you can reverse it do that the subject can see the image.

Sorry, those were two totally unrelated pieces of advice.

EOS Utility allows for remote viewing of the image on the laptop.
