I've done this previously in Windows with a Cannon EOS 5D Mk II, and my kludgy solution was to use a combination of the live view function of the Cannon EOS Utility, and some software to turn a portion of the screen into a virtual web cam, I believe I used Man圜am for that.īasically I connected the camera to the PC and fired up the Cannon EOS Utility then clicked Camera settings/Remote shooting.

In Movie mode I could not turn off the camera screen to save energy.I found that it also works in other modes.

The instructions state that the camera should be in Movie mode.Only then it showed up as an available camera. After connecting/switching on my camera I had to restart the application that needed the camera (Microsoft Teams and my browser in my case).Some points that might help when setting this up: Note that the 550D is not on the list, so the supported camera list seems to be just a guideline. However, I managed to get my 550D (EOS Rebel T2i from 2010) to work with Microsoft Teams and Jitsi (via a webbrowser). Officially the following EOS models are supported: 2020 brought us (among other things) the EOS webcam utility.
