Late last week, Canon announced the launch of its free full production version of the EOS Webcam Utility Software for both macOS and Windows, bringing with it compatibility for 43 different EOS and PowerShot cameras and 14 video conferencing services.
The software converts compatible Canon EOS interchangeable lens cameras and PowerShot cameras into high-quality webcams for supported video conferencing services and streaming. Nikon had premiered its version of the software earlier this month but theirs didn’t support any of their most recent cameras and none of its CoolPix point and shoot cameras hence making Canon’s version of the software a lot better.
Canon’s software supports 43 different Canon DSLR, mirrorless, and compact cameras from the EOS-1D X Mark I, II, and III, through a range of Rebel, EOS M, EOS R, and even three of the company’s PowerShot point and shoot cameras, simply meaning; if you’ve bought a Canon DSLR in the last several years, it’s highly likely to be compatible with the Webcam Utility software.
The Canon EOS Webcam Utility also supports 14 video conferencing services including Cisco Webex, Facebook Messenger, Streamlabs OBS, Discord, Microsoft Teams, YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Open Broadcaster Software, ZOOM, Hangouts, Skype, Apple FaceTime, Hangouts Meet, and Slack.
