EOS Webcam not working on MacOS 14.2 Sonoma after this weeks update

Hey there I bought a new R10, specifically to use as a webcam.

I am using MacOS Sonoma (14.2) which updated from 14.1 yesterday. Since the update, the camera is not recognised by the EOS utility.

On the previous version of MacOS (14.1) I was able to get this working using a firmware workaround https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/10/25/what-to-do-if-your-webcam-doesnt-work-in-macos-sonoma but since the 14.2 update the camera is not recogised (the OES utility is recognised by Zoom however - it just thinks the camera is disconnected)

I have tried this on 2 different M2 MacBook Pros running 14.2

I am using EOSWebcamUtilityPro-MAC2.0.30 Please let me know if there is a solution. I bought this camera to stream with and the software experience so far as been so so poor.

Luckily I am within my retailers return window, so I will replace it with a brand with software which actually works.

Good news folks, the Mac OS 14.2.1 update released today seemed to have fixed the issue. You will still need to do the firmware workaround https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/10/25/what-to-do-if-your-webcam-doesnt-work-in-macos-sonoma but it works again like in 14.1.

Cheers!

I had the same problem as everyone above and the hacky system setting change on my mac didn't fit things for me. Giving up on using my EOSRP as a webcam for work. What a disappointment. 

Take a cheap capture cart (not the Elgato cam link, I bought one on Amazon for €15 and it works much better than the crappy webcam software

Thanks! I’ll try that!

I've given up the rip-off with the subscription, I'm not taking part, I got a Capure card for €15, 1080p 60FPS and I can adjust the aperture and everything via my cell phone, so it's much better and the same function can be integrated everywhere

This worked for me:
- go to https://www.usa.canon.com/cameras/eos-webcam-utility?srsltid=AfmBOop31iiTtb_0heVQwjlRsuhzNhV3WteWLMS... and install the EOS Utility Pro app, (don't subscribe)
- restart your computer

You do not need to use the EOS Webcam Utility Pro App though. I use the camera with OBS or Teams, Google Meet etc just like before. I assume it the Pro app came with an additional driver that the other app did not have.

Hope this helps! 😊
