Which utility driver to select in order to use 6D as a webcam? Windows 7

I am not seeing anything on the list of available utility drivers labeled webcam. Please advise. Thanks.

I did find where people claim that the webcam driver for Windows 10 does work on 7.

Windows 7

Greetings,

The current WebCam Utility Pro is v2.0.30. It might work under W7, you can try it.

Well, did it work? Since Canon says the app is compatible with Win 10 and 11 only, you are on your own here.

Any reason you have not moved to Win 10 or 11? Windows 7 is problematic because there are no security updates anymore. Software vendors have mostly moved past 7. At least Windows 10 is supported by Microsoft for two more years.
