Webcam software on Rebel XS EOS?

I have read that as long as there is live view, the beta webcam software works - but I cannot find the Rebel XS EOS on the canon site listed for webcam software?  Any ideas?

Wow I had my doubts but it does work with the Canon XS Rebel. I tested it on Windows 10.

  • For those wondering I picked the EOS Rebel SL1 from the download list for the EOS Webcam Utility, I don't think it matters though.
  • Install the application.
  • Connect you Rebel XS to your computer via USB.
  • Make sure Live View Shooting is enabled on your camera.
  • Launch Skype, Teams, OBS you name it.
  • Go to their respective video settings, select EOS Webcam Utility as your webcam and that's it, you have a perfectly working webcam now.
  • It works with these camera settings: A-DEP, M, Av, TV, PAutomatic does not work, neither does any of the presets (Portrait, Landscape, Sports etc.)

Note: While it's well known that the Rebel XS model doesn't have a video function, it did manage to output a 1024 x 576 px signal at 20 fps, not amazing but not bad either for a webcam.

I also got it to work by following above steps. However, the image is very unfocused. Any advice?

Thank you for sharing. Any tips on using Rebel XSi as a webcam at low light?

And how to get the image more focused, please?
