To use the streaming / webcam feature of the EOS R50 you need to connect it to the computer with the USB-C connection on the camera to the USB port on the computer.

The images in the post above show a HDMI cable and a USB-C to HDMI adapter. These are not suitable for the Video call / streaming function.
