When I use my R7 for video, I have my camera strap on and usually hold my arms straight out or pull in, but whenever I pull in and my camera strap goes over the viewfinder my live view screen blacks out and on/off because it thinks I'm putting my eye up to the viewfinder. Is there anyway to disable the viewfinder if I know I want the live view locked on?

See page 826 in the User Manual.
I believe you'll want to set "Screen/viewfinder display" to use the "Screen" option.
