What usb cable is needed? Please help!

I am trying to set up my eos m200 as a webcam but my computer will not recognize my camera. I am just getting the black splash screen in zoom but no feed from camera. I am thinking that maybe I'm using the wrong type of usb cable. I would appreciate if others could share what they are using for cable. Sadly my camera did not come with one.

Some cheap USB cables are intended only for charging cell phones and lack the strands used for data transmission. Choose a reputable dealer (B&H, Adorama, ...) and order a cable designed for data transmission.
