Hi there,

 

Yes, EOS Utility 3 should be closed if you have it installed, I would also make sure the camera is powered on and set to movie mode before plugging the USB cable into the computer. What program are you using it with?

I do not recommend turning on the camera until the USB is connected.  Also, the EOS Utility Launcher Service, needs to be shutdown, too.  If the EOSU Launcher is not shutdown, then the Webcam Utility seems blocked from accessing the camera.
