There was the Canon EOS solution they published the beta for earlier this year. I have an old Rebel T5 that I decided to try out, even though official support bottomed out at the T6.
No capture card required, just the EOS Webcam utility and a USB connection. It runs very slowly, though. The latency is bad and so is the frame rate, though the picture itself is great. I've heard that reported for many supported cameras and varying computer specs as well so I'm not sure how long that will continue...

What on earth reason could they have for this being US only. Absolutely ludicrous.

- weejewel 6y agoI used the beta utility without problems in Europe without any subscription. Plug and play!

Canon Canada just tells me to go to Canon USA and to use that software! https://canon.ca/en/Features/EOS-Webcam-Utility https://canon.ca/en/Features/EOS-Webcam-Utility No subscription required for me. It installs the driver, restart your machine, then the camera is ready to use.

- paulirish 6y agoOn Mac OS, I run Camera Live (which works off the EOS sdk), and then CamTwist. I use these with a Canon EOS M6 Mark II. I have solid 720p video 30fps video, no problems. You don't need a capture card unless you want better than 720p30fps. (Then again, I have no idea about the linux/windows situations)
- 52-6F-62 6y agoDo you have an instruction set? I tried following most others I could find and they all tended to fail at some stage.

(Newer versions hit some problems with Catalina) And tweak CamTwist settings to do 720p 30fps. Browsers won't acknowledge CamTwist new/changed virtual cameras until you restart them.
