EOS M50: Camera detected in EOS Webcam Utility but not in other apps

[Swazy]

EOS Webcam Utility + Macbook Air M1

My camera works within the webcam utility app but does not get detected in any other app.

I’ve been searching for hours but nothing has worked. 

Please help.

Greetings Swazy,

If the video conferencing application or video streaming software shows the EOS Webcam option with the logo, but no live feed is present from the camera when selected, then let's check to see if there are any restrictions in place to where those applications are prevented from detecting the EOS Webcam Utility software. You may check to see if there is any security software on your computer that may be causing this issue.

Please check to see if there may be any other software running in the background that may be attempting to communicate with the EOS Webcam Utility software where it would prevent the software you are wanting to use from detecting the live feed.

If your video conferencing software is not displaying EOS Webcam Utility as a selectable option for a video source, then please uninstall the EOS Webcam Utility software, restart your computer, download the latest version from the Canon USA website and install it on your computer.
