I have tried EOS Webcam Utility with my EOS 700 D and a 24 mm EFS wide-angle lens. The video quality blows me away. It is like studio quality. I realized later that it is only 576p resolution. However, it looks a million times better than my PC's webcam in 720p resolution. Best of all, it's free. I couldn't be happier.
@tombuck
@tombuck 2 года назад
A good lens can really make such a difference, regardless of resolution, and you’ve got a great one. Even some of my old 8mm camcorders look pretty decent when adapted to a nice lens.

This eos webcam utility works great with my canon t7. I use a nifty fifty lens for the bokeh but obviously this means I need to place the camera like 20+ feet away to get a good shot. So I've found that the other program "Canon EOS Utility" is a great addition, it lets me set the iso, aperture, frame rate, focus, literally everything I need to get a good looking shot, straight from my computer with a live video feed showing me the changes in real time

I would like to share my experience with Canon 700D (Camera -> EOS Util / ML -> OBS -> Other Apps) 1.EOS Utility is perfect clean hdmi, low temperature, battery last for 90-100mins (per 1x LP-E8) but low-resolution output 2.Magic Lantern via mini hdmi + capture card also perfect clean hdmi with more option/setting, drain the battery so fast and cause camera from 35 -> 54'C in 10 mins (ambient 31'C), battery last for 60 mins Personally, I went to choice 1 with battery grip (2x LP-E8) and video conference with my team 2hrs a day. Magic Lantern is better video quality it's not good as a still image but you will notice by comparing with EOS Utility but overheat is the main issue. If you living in a country like under 20'C it should no problem

I am happy they made the utility...but, it is driving me nuts. I can't use anything extra or it will not work (bought a stream deck, but can't use it). Also can't use a cam link for a nicer quality stream which is a bummer. (Did I miss something there...can you somehow use a cam link while using the utility??) However, the biggest frustration... it constantly pops off while streaming, it's extremely inconsistent. I am saving for a Canon (the EOS-R ) so I won't have to use the utility. ;) Thanks for making this video!
@tombuck
@tombuck 3 года назад
It’s definitely inconsistent at times. The CamLink can be its own source, so you don’t need to use the Utility if you’ve got that (it should show up as its own source in whichever streaming/video app you’re using).

Thank you, Tom, I bought the Rode PSA1, and I really enjoy it! I had the Neewer IMPROVED arm before and it exploded lol. I really wanted the Rode PodMic but something I would love to see is the PodMic vs. Shure SM7B in rejecting noise in a very loud environment! Currently, my office is next to my HVAC room in the basement and it's loud. The Shure SM7B does an amazing job rejecting every background noise! but man ...the price tag is hefty. Gonna test it for 30 days. But I would love to see a comparison in loud environment between these two mics !

Another great video Tom! Question - we just paid for the year long subscription to Streamyard that allows us to stream in 1080p... if I understood what you said, does that mean we're not technically streaming in that resolution so we basically paid for an upgrade that isn't actually functional?? I think we could tell the difference before we switched from 720p to the 1080p plan but now I'm not sure anymore.
@tombuck
@tombuck 3 года назад
Hmm...this is a good point. I have a feeling Streamyard is upscaling the footage, so technically the stream is in 1080, but the input from the camera isn't. Your stuff always looks great though, and your graphics/titles are at full 1080 resolution since they're coming from Streamyard, so I still think it's worth it.

An extra thing from the Webcam Utility is that my Canon 40D works with the driver from the 60D. Sure it is 3:2, but still at least it is better than my laptop potato cam. Been using it for about 3 months now without problems. Not saying problems will arise, as the camera wasnt quite thought out with video in mind (using the sensor for an extended period of time). Also the quality is some 500ish-p, as it transfer via USB 2.0. But as said in the video, give it a shot, worst that can happen is nothing lol Amazing explanation and video!

Hi, so I'm using an EOS R with a plug & play RØDE Video Mic GO II. Trying to hook it up with EOS Webcam Utility to use on Zoom, FaceTime, and other video calls...two issues arise so far: On FaceTime, camera isn't recognized...not sure how to change it...I'm guessing EOS Webcame Utility isn't compatible with FaceTime because of Apple? Not the most important to be honest since I mostly use Zoom, but... On Zoom, I'm able to get clear video from my camera, but I'm not able to get my RØDE Video Mic GO II recognized as the audio source, when plugged into the camera...I was under the impression this was doable, but I might buy a second USB-C to USB-A cable to plug the mic directly into my laptop and activate it through RØDE Central or RØDE Connect...Does anyone have the same or a similar setup with similar issues? Any advice on either issue, and generally optimizing the efficiency of the EOS R with an external mic for video calls would be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance
@tombuck
@tombuck Год назад
I've definitely found FaceTime to be picky with what it accepts as a camera input. Personally, I think the best thing to do in your situation would be to try out the elgato CamLink. You can run a mini HDMI to full HDMI cable from the camera the the CamLink, which WILL be selectable as a source in any application (including FaceTime). And because it's an HDMI signal, it's also selectable as an audio source. 👍 There are cheaper HDMI capture cards out there, but none are as reliable as the CamLink, so it's definitely worth the price.

Using a R6. I'm getting the dreaded red X when I try to set it up as a capture device in OBS. I am running an older Mac Pro (on Big Sur) and using USB C to USB 3.0 cable. If I open up EOS Utility 3 it shows up for live view, so I know it's connecting. I have also tried to use this directly in Facebook to go live and it's the same red x. Is my USB cable bad?
@tombuck
@tombuck 2 года назад
That's strange since the R6 is so new, it should be working fine. You said that you're using the correct cable, but my instinct in these situations is to always start troubleshooting by swapping out the cable. Once I find one that works for sure I usually attach a little label to it so I never forget 😁

The Webcam Utility will give a clean output on the M50, but it still won't be "clean" through the ATEM. Depending on your streaming software, you might be able to run another camera through the ATEM and then use the M50 as a second source via USB. 👍

Hey John! That's interesting since the Webcam Utility should circumvent the auto shutoff function. I don't really have a clear cut solution, but you may want to double check that your camera has the most recent firmware installed, which may help make it more compatible with the app 🤔

Even though I have the official version for the past few months, I haven't really noticed any major changes, or I'm just too lazy to explore the extra features.

I wish I had a clear solution, but the app can definitely be hit or miss. The first thing to try is swapping out the USB cable you're using (not all cables are created equal, and some are better suited for data transfer). Sometimes just trying out different cables until one works will solve the problem. If not, then the most reliable option would be to stick with using an HDMI capture card like the elgato CamLink.
