The Mac Webcam beta was released May 27 and was used to stream an hour-long funeral via Zoom on July 10 with my 6D Mark II and a MacBook Pro. It worked great. After downloading the saved Zoom video I combined it with video from a second camera so the family could share a keepsake with others who couldn't attend the live stream. An Audio Technica USB mic fed into the Mac and a second, much clearer audio channel came from a Røde wireless lav mic into the second camera. I also tested the setup on a Canon M6 Mark II with zero problems. The only other gear I needed to buy was an AC power adapter for the 6D Mk II and a longer USB cable.
Hey guys, love your content! Question, which microphone set up was used in this video on the adjustable swing arm? Thanks and keep up the great informational videos! Oh yea, using the Canon M50 with the Sigma 16mm/1.4 lens with the duel Newer light kit...great suggestions by the way!
Canon already released the Mac version of the Webcam Utility in late May. I used it five days ago to live stream a funeral from my Canon 6D Mark II and it worked great. I don't own an M50 but have tested it on an M6 Mark II with no problems.
@@ThinkMediaTV Zoom must have updated their Mac software as I tried the canon M50 with it today successfuly . Had some issues with the quality of video as was not as sharp as expecting (though that maybe my fault). I used the zoom desktop app btw.
@@SourcingWithKian www.usa.canon.com. Tried to give you the direct link but the website is currently under maintenance. Just go there when it's running again and search for the Canon Webcam Utility
Finally, a concise video that showcased: 1. What kind of plug is utilized for camera to pc 2. What kind of battery bank you'll need and how it's plugged in/works 3. Miscellaneous settings needed in order to showcase the best kind of video quality 4. What photography terms/lenses/etc. you can adjust or change to enhance beyond just the basic kit Allll under 10 minutes. Bless
A friend had recommended this camera about a year and half ago. I just ordered it 2 days ago. That’s crazy that you put up this tutorial now. I’m definitely saving this for next week. Thank you.
SEAN I am so thankful to you for helping and guiding so many new youtubers like me to grow. Watching your videos inspired me to start my own channel and gave me the confidence to begin, this is when I am a mother of a 3 yrs old and a 5 months old.🤗🤗 Need your blessings 🤗🤗🤗
Hey, you actually can use it for zoom with Ecamm by enabling the virtual output in ecamm. It takes the feed from Ecamm and creates a video input for Zoom! It’s a couple of steps but it works!
Yes I have been using Zoom on my MacBook Pro since April. It does require the Pro subscription, which is $25 a month. Canon’s Mac livestream utility kept crashing for me, so Ecamm Live works best for me. I really like being able to quickly show my desktop and having my camera as picture in picture.
I LOVE ecamm’s stability.. I stream weekly (Cary Pierce of Jackopierce) on StageIt.com and use ecamm with 2 m50’s ... I stream at 1080/24 ... curious why you like 30 better ... also I’ve been using LED panels and just changed my front lights to soft boxes... game changer .. thanks Todd Dominey ... another GREAT resource for m50 tips and settings
@@JAROCHELOcesarcastro do you know if it works on the iPad Air? I tried the download and can’t unzip the file it goes to notability I don’t know why, very frustrating.
@@Dreamlyte I don’t think so. That would be too much to ask Cannon who barely gave us an app for computers. Improve your visual with a good lighting and clean the lenses
I have been trying to figure out how to use my Canon m50 in Streamyard for months, and I have watched tons of videos. Your video finally gave me the answer I needed to download the right drivers without needing a capture card. Thank you so much!!
I found the video helpful. Canon has in fact launched the driver for MAC. I'm using it with a EOS Rebel T7i and a desktop MACOS Catalina . All of the settings you recommend with the M50 translate perfectly. The driver does in fact work with Zoom, Google Hangouts, and Twitch. with the 17-55mm lens the image is flawless.
@DontTrip you have to connect the camera to your computer (even with the battery kit) or to Wi-Fi so the camera knows it’s live. In the process of figuring all this out myself right now too.
We did our first ever live stream on TH-cam last week and we had to use the Mac webcam - the quality definitely isn't great, so this video has been super helpful! We weren't sure what camera to get for good quality streams!
I bought my M50 because I wanted something capable of Live Streaming. But right now I'm still learning how to use it for both photography and videography. I used to be a major photography nut but that was back in the days of film. So I'm having a great time just getting back into the swing of things.
I live stream weekly on Facebook and have been thinking about getting a camera for it. I am a Mac user but I already use Ecamm so that option is perfect. This video was super helpful!
Great video, Omar. I will say… I started using Ecamm for Mac about two months ago, and I bought a Canon M50 and use it with a micro USB it's SO slick. True, you can't use it for those other stream/video apps but. If anyone is thinking about live streaming, Ecamm has been great for my small channel and the Canon M50 has really improved the video quality. (And yes, I picked one up from Think Media links!)
Cathy Zielske hey Cathy, you don’t have to use custom white balance to lock it in - you can also use kelvin and depending on your light can set it to 4500-5500
That's how I feel too. I've posted a lot of content, but it doesn't get enough views. Most under 100 views ... so live streaming may not be beneficial.
G'day, Omar! Thank you for this very helpful video!! I will be a rank beginner at Livestreaming, when (and if) I eventually organise a concert in my small town. This concert was meant to happen in March of 2020 but I think you can guess what happened (COVID). In a way, it was a good thing, because I didn't have my M50 back then so it's a bit of a silver lining. When (if) the concert happens, it will be in the only location that 'fits the bill', i.e. a local church hall. Concerts used to be staged there fairly regularly, so it's actually not as bad as it sounds. The equipment I have (besides the M50) is: Sigma 17-50 f2.8 (through the range) lens, Rode Videomic, which slots into the external flash holder, dummy battery and all other cables, etc. for continuous power source, including a portable power cell holding a genuine 20,000 mAhrs. I also have a reasonable tripod and a good (fast) laptop. The main 'issue', as I see it, is the Internet. I have a reasonably good connection at home, though it's by no means the best. I could use my phone, which has 10GBs/month data but I think I will need one of the dongles you showed us; perhaps a 'single use' one. Have I forgotten anything? Regards!
Well, that information blew me away, too technical. When I've purchased the camera and I'm ready for live streaming, I'll be back. Thank you for the tutorial
Thanks for the great video! A question about autofocus. When I use my EOS M50 as a cam on the MAC and have activated the autofocus, I always see the focus square in my face on the screen. Can you hide it or how can I make sure that I always stay in focus? Thanks for your help 🤩
Just picked up this camera, been live streaming for a bit as a side hobby and I just wanted to take it to the next level, thank you for helping me feel better about my choice and showing me how to set up! Subscribe button activivated!!
I’m streaming with my M50 but I can’t figure out how to get rid of the face tracking square during the stream? Do I have to turn off auto focus or is there a way to get rid of it?
Love your video! I bought an m50 after watching your video :) My only issue is that when I use my m50 as a webcam from my PC, there's a 1/2 sec delays, when using streamlab / obs is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thank you so much! I was having issues with the quality of my zoom meetings and it was because I didnt have any settings set! it was all on auto. Once I made the changes you made, it made it look that much better! Now I need a better lens with a low F stop. My current lens only goes down to 4.8. But thank you! youre the only person Ive seen online that lists step by step on what should be done!
Hey guys! First I love your content, you have helped me and my studio tremendously, thank you. I didn't want to come off as trolling, so I wanted to say this from a place of curiosity. I have been using my M50 for live streaming on my MacBook since late May. I am able to use it to teach music lessons on Zoom and Skype as well as live stream on OBS and Ecamm live. I also don't need the Camlink either, I just went usb with the usb c adaptor. It seems to work fine for what I'm doing. I have the EOS utility 3 and the beta for the camera and Zoom and other platforms recognize it. Sorry if I missed understood something. Happy creating :)
So, I’m a member of the Ecamm online group and at their recommendation (and majorly overpaying thanks to COVID price gouging) finally got my Camlink 4K. Super excited to livestream with my M50! Problem is that the Camlink device gets so hot after 10 minutes of streaming that I could make a grilled cheese sandwich on it. It’s not an option. I can go directly through the Canon utility app but with USB rather than HDMI, the quality is roughly the same as my iPhone. Are others struggling with this??
Elgato’s Cam Link does work but when I use Zoom or Google Meet there is an overlay from the canon m50 settings. Also, canons webcam utility seems to break when Apple updates. I have to open and close it to activate m50 as webcam. No matter the software or hardware I am using it is just plain difficult to stream or use a canon camera as a WebCam on Apple devices. I think OBS is going to be my solution for stable Screen recordings and live streams and meetings. EDIT: I have to change the clean HDMI setting.
realy great video as always ...but ... i got a M50 .. i got the 22mm lens... i got the camlink from elgato ... cause usb connection to the pc did not work ( and unfortunately there was no "how to" in this vid) ... another very very essential question would be how to get rid of the Canon screen overlays ... i think it would be worth mentioning :-)
Thanks for the video. I followed the instructions and it worked the first time but now I'm getting an error when I select "EOS Webcam Utility" in Zoom " Any Suggestions?
Man, I love this channel! You guy are the most helpful. Thanks a ton!! ...most definitely plan on streaming...testing OBS using the canon beta software for mac. One thing to note for beginners that may or may not have been mentioned is the computing power requirements for video streaming. For instance, my 2008 8-core MacPro can handle all music production tasks I throw at, as well as edit video, but technical limitations in its design don't allow it to work as well for steaming versus my newer computers that have faster bus speeds, ram, etc. (trying not to be too technical). The 8-core CAN stream, but there are extra adjustments I have to make to get it ready for a smooth experience using it. I'm not advocating the purchase of a new computer just for streaming (esp. during these budget conscious times), but test out your setup and see where you stand.
How does streaming work if you live in a place with crappy internet (rural area) and have to use a mobile hotspot? Does that work for livestreaming? Also - thank you SO much for the thorough review Omar! you're the best at these types of reviews.. always learn a TON!
Thank you for this detailed video as usual and this is why I like your channel a lot. Please can I follow these steps on my Canon EOS M6 Mark II? If not can we see a video for that camera? I hope am not asking for too much. Cheers.
Thanks! I was looking around for a webcam to potentially start some live streaming, didn't realize I can use the camera I have always been using for it. 😱😅 [mind blown] THANKS!
Hi I have been following your channel for a long time..but I have always liked the video and watched the videos...at first thank you for sharing so much online ...there are so many small details I have integrated into my videos. Although its from my other channel which is /st11dio. If you feel like checking. A lot is inspired. Simple things like pushing in your name and titles etc etc.. anyway my purpose of writing is..there is a way to connect Canon Dslr to the Mac. I use a Canon 1dx mark ii and the way to do it is ..use Camlive as a software which detects your canon Dslr as a Webcam. And then use Cam Twist to connect the DSLR as a Webcam to it...and then use Camtwist to broadcast...cam twist is free and it can be connected to zoom and other platforms which you have mentioned. Please feel free to explore that and perhaps make a video on that...the only drawback is you don't have those fancy options like lower thirds and live comments like what ecamm allows. And since my work involves showcasing prerecorded videos on zoom via presentations.. i pre edit my content already. So the simplicity of cam twist works for me. Hope this info helps ..cheers
New M50 user thanks to your vids! I use a MacBook Pro and want to do streams to YT and FB. So are you saying that I can use the USB connection with Ecamm live or do I have to use the CamLink with Ecamm Live? Also is there any difference in video quality between the USB-Ecamm or HDMI-CamLink4K options ? Learning from your vids every day!
To stream on FullHD you'll have to pay a premium subscription for Canon Web utility which in my book is outrageous. For the price of this camera, things like that should've been included. I'm stingy, so I use an HDMI capture card but the problem is Mark 1 Canon M50 doesn't have clean HDMI output, so I have to set focus on manual as auto focus shows square on my face. If anyone has a workaround that doesn't require expensive software subscriptions, please let me know. I love the quality (can't get anything remotely close from webcams) but manual focus is a big con.
Maybe I missed this, but you guys did not talk about how to get a clean HDMI out. If you're working with the settings via the touchscreen, you have to turn off all the information displays on the screen and then go to manual focus to get rid of the focus-hunting box. If you don't go to MF, the video signal will show that box in your broadcast.
Great point! My goal was to point people towards the utility app that canon has created and will soon have ready for Mac - using this method doesn’t make you have to do all that
I Haven't purchased the M50 yet, but I plan to use it for live streaming on Twitch and TH-cam. Honestly, I plan to use it for Multimedia (Live-Streaming, Videography, Photography, ETC.) do you think that it would be a great option as a budget camera?
The AF tracking box, how do you lose that ? The only way I can see is to actually start recording video of the stream into the M50 at the same time as you’re hooked up to a pc/laptop or turn off the AF tracking and go manual, which means you’ll have to sit in the same spot throughout to keep in focus
I managed to lose it by hitting record at the same time as streaming, but if you don’t have a power adapter for the M50 then the rate it goes through batteries is horrendous
Great video thank you! I was wondering if it has to be a usb connection or if it would work with a usb-c to hdmi converter with a hdmi to thunderbolt converter? I would love to start streaming soon and I thought it required an hdmi connection.
Hey guys love the channel it's been incredibly helpful for us straying up our TH-cam channel. I've been using the M 50 with my macbook pro via a USB cable and Canon Eos software for streamyard successfully for over a month now. However it still isn't playing well with other programs like zoom (super weird). I still am going to go the capture card route since we want the highest quality possible but just thought I'd put this out there. Blessings!
I just hit 1500 Subs, started Jan 19th! For 1000 subs, I wanted to go LIVE. but wasn't sure how to do so. I will be this week now!!! Thank YOU!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗 And..I just got the Sigma 16mm last week...LOVE IT!
Love the vids guys thanks so much - as a new M50 user ....just wondered how in this video you managed to show your camera screen with all the normal settings etc at 4.05 on your laptop screen? Mnay Thanks :-)
Someone has probably mentioned this but if you enable the virtual cam in Ecamm you can use it with Zoom, it works well. Good informative vid: thanks for sharing
You can use M50 on Zoom for sure. Go to Canon Website and select your Camera and Download Beta Software to be able to use M50 or any Camera that they have this software available for Zoom meeting. I use it daily for my meetings.
Is there a solution to the focus box while recording or broadcasting without canceling the auto focus? When I move around, a focus box appears on my face, which is annoying 😥
Assalam u Alaikum brother thanks for sharing very informative content. I have bought Canon M50 for Vllaging purpose. I am beginner and confused either to buy GoPro hero 10 or Canon M50 ? For indoor Vllaging?
Great video! So I'm a M60 noob and want to live stream with it, so this was very helpful! I have the Rode Wireless Go with Lav setup, I just need to know where to plug it in to get sound with the live stream setup. To my computer's 3.5mm port? Or to my camera? I'm so confused, but I'm learning through you, so thanks so much for input. Also, does this give clean HDMI? I'm going to watch this a couple more times, to let it sink in.. I appreciate the videos you make! Thanks!

I can go directly through the Canon utility app but with USB rather than HDMI, the quality is roughly the same as my iPhone. Are others struggling with this??
I'm early yey but can you guys talk about filming on phones pls
This video will be helpful!

@@OmarEltakrori thank you
Can we do long duration live streams for around 8 to 10 hours in mirrorless cameras like canon m50 or canon m200?
Planning on live streaming! Thanks for the tips. Have a great day, Jess.
the canon m50 is the one that I want to buy next (now I have nikon d3400 its sooo good for photography more than filming)
This video is so helpful. Thank you so much!!
Is there a way to get rid of the auto focus box when streaming thru hdmi?
Stay safe and have fun 🙏👍😊
will be using it for zoom for computer building.
Elgato’s Cam Link does work but when I use Zoom or Google Meet there is an overlay from the canon m50 settings. Also, canons webcam utility seems to break when Apple
updates. I have to open and close it to activate m50 as webcam. No matter the software or hardware I am using it is just plain difficult to stream or use a canon camera as a WebCam on Apple devices. I think OBS is going to be my solution for stable Screen recordings and live streams and meetings. EDIT: I have to change the clean HDMI setting.
I already live stream. Thanks for the video
Bro y’all help me soooo much ….
realy great video as always ...but ... i got a M50 .. i got the 22mm lens... i got the camlink from elgato ... cause usb connection to the pc did not work ( and unfortunately there was no "how to" in this vid) ... another very very essential question would be how to get rid of the Canon screen overlays ... i think it would be worth mentioning :-)
Beastly work you have here
This is going to benefit me I knew it already. So let me stay tuned
Agree to you gurl!
Thanks for the video. I followed the instructions and it worked the first time but now I'm getting an error when I select "EOS Webcam Utility" in Zoom " Any Suggestions?
Omar I like the ring light, do you have a link for that? I'm in the VRA btw, thanks
thanks for showing us how the m50 plugs in with a usb
Hey, thanks for the tutorial! I'm a streamer on Twitch and have this camera for videography, which I will now use as a webcam, thanks to you!
Yes I Livestream often
How do we get the stuff off the screen????
Man, I love this channel! You guy are the most helpful. Thanks a ton!!
...most definitely plan on streaming...testing OBS using the canon beta software for mac. One thing to note for beginners that may or may not have been mentioned is the computing power requirements for video streaming. For instance, my 2008 8-core MacPro can handle all music production tasks I throw at, as well as edit video, but technical limitations in its design don't allow it to work as well for steaming versus my newer computers that have faster bus speeds, ram, etc. (trying not to be too technical). The 8-core CAN stream, but there are extra adjustments I have to make to get it ready for a smooth experience using it. I'm not advocating the purchase of a new computer just for streaming (esp. during these budget conscious times), but test out your setup and see where you stand.
Hey think make sure to make a video on how to overcome fear of camera and be yourself pls really needed
lets not forget to mention that this man has an AP watch on, like who is this man feeling like.
Love this! Wondering... how does one also show their computer screen while being on a live stream?
They simply use obs or other similar streaming software and then use „screencapture“
Amazing video, so helpful. Thank you
How does streaming work if you live in a place with crappy internet (rural area) and have to use a mobile hotspot? Does that work for livestreaming? Also - thank you SO much for the thorough review Omar! you're the best at these types of reviews.. always learn a TON!
Thank you for this detailed video as usual and this is why I like your channel a lot. Please can I follow these steps on my Canon EOS M6 Mark II? If not can we see a video for that camera? I hope am not asking for too much. Cheers.
Thanks for all the great content you guys make and all the work you do! It's appropriated!
Me: Sweet, I already have an M50 & 22mm lens!
Rural Internet: All I got is 3Mpbs upload speed. You're screwed, LOL!
Thanks! I was looking around for a webcam to potentially start some live streaming, didn't realize I can use the camera I have always been using for it. 😱😅 [mind blown] THANKS!
Hi I have been following your channel for a long time..but I have always liked the video and watched the videos...at first thank you for sharing so much online ...there are so many small details I have integrated into my videos. Although its from my other channel which is /st11dio. If you feel like checking. A lot is inspired. Simple things like pushing in your name and titles etc etc.. anyway my purpose of writing is..there is a way to connect Canon Dslr to the Mac. I use a Canon 1dx mark ii and the way to do it is ..use Camlive as a software which detects your canon Dslr as a Webcam. And then use Cam Twist to connect the DSLR as a Webcam to it...and then use Camtwist to broadcast...cam twist is free and it can be connected to zoom and other platforms which you have mentioned. Please feel free to explore that and perhaps make a video on that...the only drawback is you don't have those fancy options like lower thirds and live comments like what ecamm allows. And since my work involves showcasing prerecorded videos on zoom via presentations.. i pre edit my content already. So the simplicity of cam twist works for me. Hope this info helps ..cheers
Yes I hope to livestream thankyou
I used to livestream on Facebook using my iPhone 8plus, about to start streaming on TH-cam along with my other videos.
New M50 user thanks to your vids! I use a MacBook Pro and want to do streams to YT and FB.
So are you saying that I can use the USB connection with Ecamm live or do I have to use the CamLink with Ecamm Live?
Also is there any difference in video quality between the USB-Ecamm or HDMI-CamLink4K options ?
Learning from your vids every day!
Just ordered the adapter based your recommendation. Thanks
Did you have any problems with the adapter?
Very helpful. Thank you! Quick question....what editing software do you suggest?
hey can u do "how to set up Cannon G7X mark ii for live streaming on TH-cam"?? pls
Thank you! Very informative
To stream on FullHD you'll have to pay a premium subscription for Canon Web utility which in my book is outrageous. For the price of this camera, things like that should've been included. I'm stingy, so I use an HDMI capture card but the problem is Mark 1 Canon M50 doesn't have clean HDMI output, so I have to set focus on manual as auto focus shows square on my face. If anyone has a workaround that doesn't require expensive software subscriptions, please let me know. I love the quality (can't get anything remotely close from webcams) but manual focus is a big con.
Maybe I missed this, but you guys did not talk about how to get a clean HDMI out. If you're working with the settings via the touchscreen, you have to turn off all the information displays on the screen and then go to manual focus to get rid of the focus-hunting box. If you don't go to MF, the video signal will show that box in your broadcast.
Great point! My goal was to point people towards the utility app that canon has created and will soon have ready for Mac - using this method doesn’t make you have to do all that
Just got the sigma 16. Effin amazing for live.
I Haven't purchased the M50 yet, but I plan to use it for live streaming on Twitch and TH-cam. Honestly, I plan to use it for Multimedia (Live-Streaming, Videography, Photography, ETC.) do you think that it would be a great option as a budget camera?
This is a fantastic instruction video - thank you!
The AF tracking box, how do you lose that ? The only way I can see is to actually start recording video of the stream into the M50 at the same time as you’re hooked up to a pc/laptop or turn off the AF tracking and go manual, which means you’ll have to sit in the same spot throughout to keep in focus
Unfortunately only way to do that is to go manual focus. This seems ridiculous as the M50’s autofocus is one of the primary selling points for me
I managed to lose it by hitting record at the same time as streaming, but if you don’t have a power adapter for the M50 then the rate it goes through batteries is horrendous
Great content as usual! Didn’t know the M50 could do this.
I Plan on Live-streaming eventually.
Great Job Omar!
Hey friends! What is the name of the doodad that connects the camlink to the mac?
This is totally the video I needed! Thank you!!
Great video thank you! I was wondering if it has to be a usb connection or if it would work with a usb-c to hdmi converter with a hdmi to thunderbolt converter? I would love to start streaming soon and I thought it required an hdmi connection.
Thank you great video very helpful. Tho how you stop the focus square from poping up on your Stream?? 😊👍🏻🎬
Hey guys love the channel it's been incredibly helpful for us straying up our TH-cam channel. I've been using the M 50 with my macbook pro via a USB cable and Canon Eos software for streamyard successfully for over a month now. However it still isn't playing well with other programs like zoom (super weird). I still am going to go the capture card route since we want the highest quality possible but just thought I'd put this out there. Blessings!
Thanks a lot for the walkthrough - really useful!
I just hit 1500 Subs, started Jan 19th! For 1000 subs, I wanted to go LIVE. but wasn't sure how to do so. I will be this week now!!! Thank YOU!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗 And..I just got the Sigma 16mm last week...LOVE IT!
Love the vids guys thanks so much - as a new M50 user ....just wondered how in this video you managed to show your camera screen with all the normal settings etc at 4.05 on your laptop screen? Mnay Thanks :-)
Someone has probably mentioned this but if you enable the virtual cam in Ecamm you can use it with Zoom, it works well. Good informative vid: thanks for sharing
You can use M50 on Zoom for sure. Go to Canon Website and select your Camera and Download Beta Software to be able to use M50 or any Camera that they have this software available for Zoom meeting. I use it daily for my meetings.
ill be live streaming on my instagram and making videos for my youtube channel, thanks for the awesome video!
Is there a solution to the focus box while recording or broadcasting without canceling the auto focus? When I move around, a focus box appears on my face, which is annoying 😥
Assalam u Alaikum brother thanks for sharing very informative content. I have bought Canon M50 for Vllaging purpose. I am beginner and confused either to buy GoPro hero 10 or Canon M50 ? For indoor Vllaging?
Great video!
So I'm a M60 noob and want to live stream with it, so this was very helpful!
I have the Rode Wireless Go with Lav setup, I just need to know where to plug it in to get sound with the live stream setup.
To my computer's 3.5mm port?
Or to my camera?
I'm so confused, but I'm learning through you, so thanks so much for input.
Also, does this give clean HDMI?
I'm going to watch this a couple more times, to let it sink in..
I appreciate the videos you make!
Thanks!
