Wow, that's tricky! You can handle that until you run out of space on your memory card (or hit the record time limit apparently), but still, neat trick! Never thought about that lol.
Were you getting FHD (1080p) output from your 80D with the webcam utility in OBS? I have the Canon m50 and am only getting 1280x578.....not even 16:9 aspect ratio so I have to upscale the output!
You're welcome! I'm glad you have found it helpful. What operation system and playback software do you use? The built in Windows webcam app was terribly wrong to me as well, but OBS studio worked great!
The USB video feed is 576p30. Yep, that's right. 1024×576 at 30 frames per second is all you can get. If you have a camera that does clean HDMI out, like the EOS R or EOS RP, you can use a capture device like the BlackMagic Atem Mini, Elgato Camlink 4K or others to get a better quality. The EOS RP can output 4k24fps via HDMI feed, but it crops a huge part of the sensor, if you have a wide angle lens, you could do a trick with the lens, if you have a fixed lens, you would need to be far from the camera, that crop is kinda brutal. I'm happy with 1080p60 via HDMI out.
@@fotografiacotidiana The one drawback from using the elgato cam link and other captures is that, for several Canon cams (and I would assume a few non canon cams), you have to be in manual focus mode to get clean video- which kind of defeats the purpose unless you can keep yourself in the exact focal length for your entire stream. :T
I found that my canon eos100d would run out of battery while using the webcam utility. I bought a new usb cable for it and still had this problem. I wonder am I doing something wrong?
It's a small battery like box that replaces your battery, then a cable have to come out of it that goes into the wall with an adapter. Something like this: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07R3Z7F8Y/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_XH5MGRVQYVWGXJ3NR9JM
@@rafbass What I'm saying is: there is no such and option to remove that annoying square from the hdmi-out in older cameras. Only the new ones can do the trick at the moment. We hope that they'll solve this issue once with a software update or something, but it's may never happen.
@@pwolfarts Yeah, thanks for replying to my comment. I will give you a subscrube :) Indeed, the EOS R and the EOS RP can output real clean HDMI. I think the M50 does not. I would be really annoyed if I had bought a M50 and tried to use that. I was between the M50 and the RP and (luckily? haha) the M50 was sold out, so I got the RP, and I am pretty happy with the HDMI out feed in Elgato Camlink 4K. The quality is very crisp. I work recording videos for online training platforms like Coursera and edX, and recording from the computer is WAY faster than recording in the memory card. It does not give the same quality but the production speed increases so much that it totally pays off, mostly because I can use my Shure SM-7B and the UAD Apollo with the Manley Voxbox plugin to give a superb sound that gets recorded directly into the video footage. Achieving that in a camera without XLR input would be consume lots of time because I would need to record the audio separately and sync later. Thanks for the video, it helped me a lot! Cheers!
It's a different price level 🤷♂ just about the ball park of an EOS R with native usb webcam support. It does make sense if you're a film-maker to have an athem, but not as much if you're a vlogger/hobbyis.
To achieve any resolution higher than 720p using the Canon EOS Webcam Utility requires the user to pay a subscription fee to unlock the premium features. And this solution still limits the user to a maximum of 1080p. 4K is not possible without the appropriate HDMI capture card or capture device.
@@pwolfarts im using a canon 80d, it seems that the overheating wasnt the problem. My camera turns off with an error 70 when im using the eos webcam utility in obs or zoom, do you know what to do? I thought it was the heat but it doesnt get so hot. the error disappears when I turn it off and on again but if I keep using eos webcam it turns off again, that error does not happen when taking photos and videos regularly just with the app. Thank u
You can use Magic Lantern to remove the Focus Square :) if your dslr supports it
Might work for some, but I'll avoid in anyone's case who is not really familiar with their camera yet.
4:13 I have encounter problem , camera shuts off when im on HDMI , is there anything in secret menue I should know about ?
Not sure. To be fair, I've sold all my canon cameras long ago and now I'm on Lumix, so I can't even guess by now. Sorry.
Auto power off: Off
1:44 do you press record ? it fixed the issue for me, no square on the screen :)

No, what you’re getting is the maximum quality
Bro it is also gets turn off after 30min as mi canon 550d or it is non stop working
HDMI shuts down camera's screen once connect to pc. any help please?
The same here, this doesn't make sense.
It's how it's supposed to work. You need to use a program to view the HDMI feed or disconnect the cable
This was helpful thanks! I’m having trouble with the quality of my cam when I use eos utility, do you have any tips?

Unfortunately these usb2 cameras are not able to receive charge from the pc. You'll need a dummy battery if you want to use it from the wall.
@@pwolfarts perfect thanks mate! Is the likes of a canon 5d mk4 usb3 or no?

Any way to get rid of that AF square? I’ve seen a footage from a guy from Canon showing HDMI feed without the freaking square
It was probably one of their newer mirrorless cameras EOS R, RP or similar I guess.
Peter Wolf I could find it. It was hidden in the menus!

Just switch to manual focus in your lens.
