I recently learned that I could connect my EOS M50 camera to my Mac computer Silicon M1 Chip, Mac Mini 2020(listed as compatible device) with the Webcam Utility Pro. I'm running IOS Venture 13.4.1 (the most recent) and downloaded the following: EOS Webcam Utility Pro 2.0.30 (macOS) TypeSoftware Date05.22.23 from the Canon Website.
I've been consuming content on youtube, rereading the instructions, and reading the threads on here with still no luck. Some of the things I've done already are: 1) Update Firmware to Ver.1.1.0, 2) Turn off the wifi functions on the camera, and 3) Make sure that the EOS Utility Application is not launched/in use on Mac Mini. I have also tried three different mini USB to regular USB, mini USB to Thunderbolt, and a combination of both with an adaptor but nothing has worked.
I have tried it with the following software: OBS, Zoom, and Google Meets got the following screen. All the videos I saw online had a screen with a red icon to demonstrate that the camera was not on, but I have never gotten that.
Another important thing to note is that the "computer icon" that is supposed to show on the camera screen when linked to the computer does not show up. It's just the regular view from the lens. I feel this is probably a problem with the computer not reading the camera. However, what's interesting is when the camera is on and connected to the computer, if I try to toggle to the settings, the camera won't let me and prompts me with the words "busy." As soon as I unplug it, I'm able to use the camera like normal. Is there something I am doing wrong? I feel like giving up but I feel like I am so close. If anyone has any tips on how to troubleshoot this problem, I'd greatly appreciate it!
