Canon EOS Webcam Utility For Windows and Mac
If you're wondering if your Canon camera is compatible with the EOS Webcam Utility, read on. There are a few things you should know about this new application. First, it doesn't work with a lot of applications. For example, it doesn't work with Photo Booth, FaceTime, or browser-based conferencing apps like Microsoft Teams. Nevertheless, if you use these programs regularly, they should be able to work with your Canon camera.
Canon launched a beta version of the EOS Webcam Utility for Windows and macOS last spring, and now it's available for both platforms. As it's an ongoing project, Canon is open to suggestions from its customers and the market, so you can download the latest version today. The download link is here, and you'll need to select "EOSWebcamUtility-WIN1.0.zip" to install the application on your PC.
In addition, if you're using a microphone, you'll need to enable it on your camera. For this to work, you must use a 3.5mm cable from the camera's microphone to the microphone input of the computer. To enable the audio settings on the camera, select the option for external microphone. To check whether the audio settings are correct, reboot the system. Choose the microphone input on the streaming application as well as the computer microphone.
After downloading the EOS Webcam Utility, it's time to install it. Download the file from Canon's dedicated support page. Make sure to choose Windows 10 (x64) and then click on the 'Drivers & Downloads' tab. The software will install on your computer, so it's important to select the proper language. Once installed, click the "I accept" radio button to confirm installation. You will be asked to accept the license agreement.
