But isn't running a camera as a Webcam actually bad for the battery, especially if you plan to use that camera also for trips?

- wingmanjd 4y agoI've seen some AC adapters that fit into the battery compartment to replace the battery. No idea if it's a good idea or not.
- formerly_proven 4y agoThat's a standard accessory

- jrockway 4y agoI have a thing that replaces the battery with AC power supply. While the DSLR is being used as a webcam, it doesn't even contain a battery.
- samatman 4y agoThere's no reason it should be, it's unclear to me which scenario concerns you: Mirrorless cameras can be powered by USB, either Micro or C depending on model. The batteries have a built-in BMS so leaving the camera plugged in won't harm them. Some mirrorless aren't thermally compatible with running full video on battery for long periods, this is worth researching before purchase, but for the ones which are it's not going to damage the battery to run off of it. There's no motive to do so with a desktop setup.
