Eos webcam utility beta

It is now Canon’s turn to release its Webcam Utility (still in beta version) for the macOS (10.13, 10.14 and 10.15) to bring easy-to-use, plug and play, webcam-like functionality to select Canon cameras. (The Windows 10 version was already available back on April 28.) It converts select EOS Interchangeable Lens Cameras (ILC) and PowerShot cameras into a high-quality webcam through a simple USB connection to your computer. Both the EOS R and EOS RP mirrorless cameras are supported. Of course, the reason you may want to use a Canon ILC (with a large sensor) instead of a dedicated webcam (with a tiny sensor) is the improved video appearance while participating in video conferencing and virtual meetings.Supported CamerasPRESS RELEASEYou Asked, Canon Delivers: The EOS Webcam Utility Beta Software* Now Available for macOS1 UsersMELVILLE, NY, May 27, 2020 – After tens of thousands of downloads and comments from Canon brand loyalists, the EOS Webcam Utility Beta software* has expanded, and is now available for macOS users.

I've been using the paid version of EOS Webcam Utility Pro (2.1.18) to stream over Teams until today. After updating Teams to the most recent "version 24004 (24004.1204.2655.7488)" EOS Webcam Utility no longer recognizes Teams is actively streaming my camera. It's not a Teams issue, as Teams still displays EOS webcam utility feed as it should, albeit the "off air" fallback image. You can see this in a side-by-side screenshot here: My camera is active in EOS on the left. Teams is actively streaming the EOS feed on the right, but EOS doesn't understand the stream started yet.Please advise on steps to remedy, or confirm this is an active bug you are tracking with EOS Webcam utility (2.1.18)Thanks.MBA All forum topics Previous Topic Next Topic 15 REPLIES 15 “ I've been using the paid version of EOS Webcam Utility Pro (2.1.18) to stream over Teams until today.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I did restart my machine after installation, and unfortunately there are no further updates to be made.

That might be the best way to expedite a response.MBA I have both macbook, and Imac running Sonoma and an old Imac running High Sierra. In High Sierra everything works fine. Hi macbook-amateur,To fully trouble shoot this issue we would need to know what operating system is on your computer and what camera you are using with the EOS Webcam Utility.
