The PowerShot G7 X Mark II is not compatible with our EOS Webcam Utility software. There isn't a way to use the USB port for a webcam connection with that camera body. The HDMI on the PowerShot G7 X Mark II is only for playing back videos and photos you already shot on a television. The HDMI on that camera does not output a live video feed.</P> Thu, 12 Dec 2024 23:44:48 GMT Hazel_T 2024-12-12T23:44:48Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/PowerShot-G7-X-Mark-II-Camera-as-Webcam/m-p/517716#M19529 <P>I am wondering if the powershot g7x mark ii can be used as a webcam. I’ve seen stuff online pointing towards yes, however, every time I plug it into my computer the lens retracts. Anyone know why?</P> Wed, 11 Dec 2024 04:30:08 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/PowerShot-G7-X-Mark-II-Camera-as-Webcam/m-p/517716#M19529 brysonmorales 2024-12-11T04:30:08Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/PowerShot-G7-X-Mark-II-Camera-as-Webcam/m-p/518184#M19553 <P>Hi brysonmorales,</P> <P>There ins't a way to use that camera body as a webcam through Canon.
