Webcam software on Rebel XS EOS?

[netrate]

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?

I would conclude that the camera is probably too old, and will not be supported.  It is my understanding that the cameras are put into a reduced resolution movie mode to stream th video.  I do not think the digital Rebel XS really had video capability, at least not internally.

Ok thanks.  I am going to try it anyway.  How is the software supposed to work?  does it have an interface?

No it acts like a driver, there is no user interface or user adjustable settings.

After you install the software just start a webhosting program (like Zoom) and start a meeting. Monitor will display the software logo.

Ok, thank you. I can confirm now that that Canon XS EOS rebel does indeed work with Skype and the beta software.

I only know Zoom. But I think Skype is like Zoom. Just try it.

hello, can you share how you made it work since the rebel xs does not have a video function?

Did you connect it with video out port or usb? Also, which setting did you use since it doesn't have a Video setting?
