I will like to know if anyone have the full version of Big Sur OS and EOS Webcam Utility full version working together. If theres any bug or trouble using both together. Thank you

notwoodward, unfortunately my menu is a little different on the SX70. I did turn off WIFI, but no luck.
Still waiting on my new cable to be delivered. Maybe that will get things to work.

Update:
So I got it working and here is what I did.

I got my new cable (short c-type cable) in the post.

This time around when I plugged the camera in, I could see on the display that it was connected to my laptop, but I still had no image apart from that black canon image.

I restarted Chrome but no luck.

I then reduced the image quality from FHD 25fps to HD 50fps and all of a sudden it just worked!

So in my case it seems to have been a combination of cable and image quality.

Im going to have to try the rosetta- I guess.  I have the new M! macbook pro which only comes with big Sur and the new canon R5.  I was really hoping to use it as my webcam and am havingno luck.  thanks for your ideas

Hello! Could you please write step by step how this was solved. I use Big Sur and I have a 5D mark 4.  How can I use my camera as a webcam?

Unfortunately, there isn’t a general step-by-step instruction for this. It depends on your Mac (intel vs M1) and what software you are trying to use webcam for.

Canon does not write or update the OS for an Apple Mac.

Canon does not write the software for whatever app you are trying to use with the webcam, either.  However, there is nothing really complicated to adding and using the EOS Webcam Utility.  It is not all that different from adding a printer to your computer, and then every app the uses a printer can access and use your new printer.

BTW, the EOS Webcam Utility is not an app, at least not in the conventional sense.  It is a device driver, just like what a printer would have when you add a new printer.

Actually, it’s pretty complicated when you are using the latest Mac OS because EOSWU only works up to latest version of MacOS 10 (last I checked). It also doesn’t work with a lot of apps because of this (like FaceTime). I have been successful with Zoom and TEAMS running through Rosetta on an M1 Mac.

FIXED / SOLVED: Problem to use EOS Webcam Utility with Big Sur on Mac and Canon EOS R5 with MICROSOFT TEAMS / OBS

Since updating from Catalina to Big Sur I had the issue, that EOS Webcam Utility didn't work anymore with Microsoft TEAMS. The Virtual Webcam did not appear as available camera in TEAMS. So I found the following solution from Glen Aspeslagh (thank you very much Glen for sharing this to us!) and it worked PERFECT for me. After removing the virtual camera blocking from TEAMS by using the Terminal code from Glens Website and Restarting TEAMS I can now choose my EOS R5 as webcam via EOS Webcam Utility on my MacBook Pro 16" from Late 2020 with TEAMS. 
Before the removement from the Virtual Camera Blocking I could use my R5 in Chrome Browser as webcam.

1. Close your TEAMS App on your local Mac machine
2. Copy this Terminal Code:

sudo codesign --remove-signature "/Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/Frameworks/Microsoft Teams Helper (Renderer).app"

3. Start your Terminal App

4. Paste the Terminal Code

5. Insert your Mac-Adminpasswort

6. Hit Enter

7. Restart TEAMS and choose EOS Utility as Webcam Input

8. Connect your EOS Camera via USB-C Cable to your Mac

9. Enjoy perfect webcam quality on your TEAMS Videomeetings

I hope this will help you too! Perhaps someone can post a similar soluation (Terminal Code) for Zoom?

Do we have any knowledge of when Canon is going to officially update EOS Webcam utility for Big Sur?

Prior to upgrading to Big Sur everything was working great, but afterwards Webex is :'(
