⭐️ Buy the Canon M50: geni.us/tgtm50body (affiliate) What's up everyone?! I hope this Canon M50 live streaming with auto focus tutorial is helpful. Is this something you were looking to do? Do you have a different setup? Would love to know what you think 🙏
My shutter runs non stop when I use that battery gadget. So I can’t use it!! (I did drop my camera, so I need to check if there’s a fault with the camera.) normal battery is ok though.
Best TH-cam tech / camera channel by far. It always baffles me how these other inferior channels managed to accumulate so many more viewers than this channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I so agree with you, and I already told him the same thing! Sagi is PHENOMENAL and should be a total TH-cam Star. He's great on camera, great speaking voice, very giving with information and always concerned about the viewer. I'm a huge fan.
Been using EOS Utility for my M50 for awhile now but finally caved and got a cam link 4k to move away from the 576p resolution but im having some issues with the output ether randomly freezing or shutting off at the 30 minute mark. do you have any solutions since i cant seem to get the utility working via usb at the same time as using HDMI out ether.
One downside to connecting over USB is it's a huge res drop over running over HDMI. Canon has their own webcam utility that's free and also removes the autofocus, but I found the picture quality versus running through a capture card was a huge drop off, think it's limited to 1024-something due to the bandwidth limitations of USB 2.0
I have been looking for this bro, I could not find anything on it because you can't get rid of the focus box and the answer was in front of me the whole time. Once again you came to the rescue! Thanks again bro! If anyone is having issues downloading sparkocam use Edge.
Buy it nice or buy it twice! Hey thanks for all your helpful videos. Listen I picked up the M50 Mark ii and I am brand new to live-streaming with it. Could you tell me what hdmi out cables I need to plug in to my computer for the best quality? I heard somewhere I didn’t need a capture card or any additional 3rd party software since I got the ii.. if you can recommend the cables I need that would be awesome 👏🏽
I initially bought a USB condenser mic when I first started looking into streaming without realizing it would pick up on everything from my keystrokes to the neighbor sneezing next door. I still had my old 1202 and Shure PG58 from high-school tucked into a closet so I'm using that now. Still working out the video aspect. Thanks for this!
Hi, I am looking for a wireless microphone that gives good audio when used in a hall with open doors which is not sound proofed.. basically my church streams live board teachings on TH-cam and need microphone for good audio
Thanks SO much for this video! 2 questions: it looks like sparkocam is only for Windows. Do you know of a Mac alternative? And if not, I think my only other alternative is to shut off the autofocus but I’m having a hard time finding how I can do that in the camera settings. (I’m a complete newbie to DSLRs so if anyone could explain the steps, I’d so appreciate it!)
I was looking at the M50 but think I will wait for the rumored new version. Any news if this is going to be released this year? And do think it is worth the wait? Upgrading my Zoom life.
I can only get a 720p signal from the camera over USB as the interface is USB 2.0 which does not support the bit rate of uncompressed 1080p signal, why would I use such an expensive camera to stream in 720p? Is this something that people actually do? I have a $15 720p (upscales to 1080p) webcam that looks better than the 720p signal that comes out of the camera's USB port. Am I missing something here?
Thanks so much for all of your videos about the M50. They've been incredibly helpful and thorough. I started using Sparkocam with my M50 but there's a bit of lag, and when I record there's delay with the audio. I have a nice laptop and have it optimized for video and audio editing. Any suggestions?
I’m a little confused. Maybe I missed it. I’ve watched you video a couple times and not sure about something. It looks like you’re using the micro usb AND the mini hdmi. Why? With sparkocam, does it matter which one you use or do you use the other to keep auto focus? Thanks for the info!!!
Very helpful video. However, with my Canon M50 and OBS, there is still a noticeable latency between audio and video. I can adjust the Audio offset to 291 ms when I am recording only on OBS. But when I try to output OBS to Streamyard or Zoom the latency returns despite by 291 ms offset. I appreciate your help.
Is the elephant in the room here that Canon deliberately put this limitation in - there is no technical reason why it can't have a clean HDMI out - it's just to cripple the product, right?
This is an odd question but if I want to send HDMI out to a monitor just so that I can see it on another screen will that change the recording going on inside the camera?
@@TechGearTalk lol yeah. Btw as I'm watching your videos, I try it on my M50 and when I plugged in the usb to my camera, the feedback on sparkocam is just black, and then I tried to open the camera windows app and it do the same thing. Do you have any Ideas how to fix this? Thanks
Hmmm, that is strange. Maybe try another cable. That doesn't sound right. I've never done anything, just plug it in. Worse case, you'd need to contact SparkoCam. Let me know what happens.
I'm new to this. Next week I am going to begin live streaming for a local university. I have a MacBook Pro. Will the Canon m50 work? Do I need adaptors or plug in too?
good video though. Maybe one question as regards streaming with this: How to turn off "deactivating"? camera is shutting down after 16 mins. Although I deactivated eco mode and stuff camera still turns out and I need to reboot it manually. this is very bad for a stream
Great video! Noob here.. I'm looking at live streaming my M50 with the rode wireless go, so how would I go about the audio for that? Meaning, how or where would I plug the transmitter? The audio jack on my pc? No such thing as a dumb question, and I need to know. So no snide comments needed from others, I just need an answer. Thanks so much!
Great video as always!! I use ATEM mini connects the M50 with HDMI I have a questions: - how to I avoid black out in every 29 mins without reactive the camera. I want to use the camera for 2 to 3 hours live streaming. Hope that you can help
I just purchased the M50 last week and I am still in the learning process. Your videos have helped me tremendously, simplifying what looked like a monumental task. One question, bear in mind I am a novice to live streaming et al, can the M50 record and live stream a broadcast at the same time? If not how can that be done. If you've done a video on this my apologies. I have subscribed and have been binge watching everything you've done with the M50. I especially liked the 2 parter on the video settings, excellent info. Thank you
Always love your videos, clear, concise to the point with multiple options and alternatives. A quick question: are you using this setup for recording 'talking head videos' as well? I'm asking because I need to record both screen and my face for some videos and my 'default' camera quality is pretty average, so I was considering using my M50. I guess with the software you recommended, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
Hi I am a subscriber. All this stuff is a lot for me to learn here. I have the Canon M50 and learnt a lot from your videos. I need to Live stream an event at the end of the mont but I am lost Lol. I just bought a Cam link capture card and now I have camera and capture card and am lost. Shouldn't I just take it back and buy a logitech web cam?
Hey cool video. I am researching on replacing my webcam. I already have SparkoCam license for both Nikon and Canon and have been using it for my Nikon D500, but no face-tracking. This seems like a great option instead of going for something like Sony A6600
I have bought an M50 and an elgato capture card and i was thinking either to use Sparkocam or Vmix. Correct me if i understood you the wrong way about the auto - shut off function. If i am using my capture card for HDMI, does it mean the auto - shut off function will NOT be deactivated? But if i am connected with a USB connection it WILL BE DEACTIVATED? Or IS IT DEACTIVATED WITH BOTH, HDMI and USB, when using Sparkocam or Vmix? Thank you for your time and answer!!
Hi Patrick. If you are going to use a Capture card, you don't need sparkocam, you can just install the free EOS Utility app, and your autoshut off issue is resolved. If you want to use autofocus, then you don't need a capture card and you can just use Sparkocam. Does that make sense?
SparkoCam is expensive for only the use of gett rid of the overlay, do you know any other app that has the option to do the same??? Very good video!! On point with everything, thanks!
We do a TH-cam channel of our travels. And I also stream on Twitch occasionally. For a microphone, I suggest a dynamic mic, I use the Rode ProCaster currently. Unless you are in a controlled environment a condenser mic is going to pick up environmental noises. I moved from the Rode NT1 and never looked back. Thanks for the great video's. We just purchased a Canon M50 and are trying it out for our travel videos, and will be using it for live streams too.
Still love your channel, man. I tried Sparkocam with my T3i. While I can get full 1080p, I seem to be getting 15-20fps in the video, and nothing close to 30fps. The computer I have it connected to is a fast, powerful computer with 32gb ram and everything else pretty decked out. Have you experienced a slower, choppier framerate when using Sparkocam? It's hard to tell in this video. I would say Sparkocam is worth investing in, if the framerate was normal. But, connecting via USB (which is what I'm doing)... isn't giving me the 30fps. And I tried a USB 3.0 port as well... (don't know if that would make any difference). Thoughts? Thanks!!!
Hi, i'ts just me or from Sparkocam to OBS loses a lot of quality? I mean, in sparkocam te quality is ok ( not as much as hdmi), but when i put Sparkocam source on OBS, the quality is even worse.. Anyone had this problem? i could i fix that? Thank you!
So I have the M50 Mark One, and I am struggling with this autofocus rectangle. Sparko Cam only works with PC and Im on a mac. I guess I will have to use it without autofocus? I Running the EOS utility fixes the 30min stop, but its a bit off a hassle to connect to it every time over wifi. Thnx for taking the time.
A seems to be HDMI and B is SparkoCam? Or is it? 😅 SC seems to be quite good anyway or how do you think about it? Isn't it basically a camera's “live view“? So what about for example the frame rate, is it really a 30fps or something slower? And what about the resolution? How does the video sync with your voice, is the video lagging behind or is it ok? Nice if you have time to answer and great info from you anyhow 👍🙌
1. Yes, SC seems quite good 2. The resolution is 1080p and yes, 30fps 3. There is no audio coming from the camera. When you stream, you need an audio source - like a USB mic Hope I was able to help.
Hi, I am quite new to photography and video creation, I have this dilemma choosing between M50 and Sony A6400. My TH-cam will be educational type where I will usually sit there and teach through the video. I am planning to do TH-cam as long term side project. What would you suggest?
I believe that the Canon is easier to learn and use - I also like the color right out of the camera better. The a6400 is a more powerful camera. If you want 4K and more features from Canon, check out the: th-cam.com/video/Nir8pfvfdFI/w-d-xo.html a6400 vs m50 th-cam.com/video/68CCV_WDIkk/w-d-xo.html
Hello hope everyone is doing great 🙂. I have a question. I have a canon m100 with kit lens. Should I purchase 16mm sigma lens 1.4 for this body. Or purchase m200. ? I mean is it worth it to purchase m200 in 2020 or stick with my canon m100. And purchase a sigma lens thanks 😊
Last question! In your opinion is there any benefits of running my camera with HDMI through Cam Link instead of just using my USB through SparkoCam? I don't see the reason to spend the money on Camlink when SparkoCam picks up my feed, and looks pretty great
I'm not sure I understand the question (beyond what the video explains). HDMI through CamLink is a little higher quality, but you lose autofocus. SparkoCam gives you autofocus, at a slightly lower quality. Does that make sense?
Is it worth the upgrade from an m200 to a m50 and/or m50 mk2 if I only want it to do live streams using hdmi anda catpure card? (I grab sound from an external device) Ive seeing all your reviews but I cant be sure :(
Just starting to use my Canon EOS M50 for shooting TH-cam videos via HDMI, and this autofoc box is so annoying that I’m just considering upgrading my camera atp 😅
Doesn't the EOS Webcam Utility Software enable clean live streaming with all possible settings like auto focus via an USB connection? Is this software newer than this video? Or am I missing something?
Hi! I've just connected my M50 to Sparkocam (usb to micro usb) and there is a 2 or 3 second lag on the camera visual. I think I also experienced this when doing a window display via OBS. Is it supposed ot happen or is there something I can do to fix this? Many thanks! S.
Purchased Sparkocam to use with my M50. Confused as to how you got it to recognize your camera under the 'Canon Camera' dropdown. The only way it finds my camera is with the Camlink... but then I have all of the issues of the menu items and autofocus. You mentioned connecting with an HDMI. How did you do that and still pull up that menu to make adjustments? Is there a particular cable? Micro HDMI to USB3?
Hi. For sparkocam - I only use a micro usb cable. If it doesn't work - try a different cable. You need a micro usb that can transfer data and power. Let me know.
Hey man! I’m buying 3 units of Canon M50 to connect to my Switcher (Atem Mini). How can I make this app (SparkoCam) solve my problem of 30 minuts limit for all of my cameras at the same time during my live streaming?
I only get 576p via USB, and 1080p with HDMI, but using HDMI shot off my cam after 30 mins. So frustrating. is there a solution to hi res with unlimited stream time?
Nice video. Canon M50 or 200d mark ii for photography and Streaming? Btw does camera shuts down after streaming for 30mins? I saw in many videos it shuts down after 30mins.
I’m trying to use the deity D3 V-Mic Pro for audio, but somehow the mic source is not coming through the M50 camera through my 4K Elgato Cam Link source. Any thoughts/help much appreciated
What’s best for connecting M50 to atem mini iso.. b/c I can still see all the settings on all the footage . I thought I’d just be able to disable all the settings from being exposed.. and do you have the link to the dummy battery
Love ur videos. Bought M50 after i cleared my doubts by watching ur videos. Could you please tel if there is a way to directly record video from M50 into computer.
Glad I could help! Yes, if you use OBS (FREE streaming software) you can hit "start recording" instead of "start streaming" and it will record to the computer. Hope that helps.
This is what i don't understand... In order to use the Sparkocam, you must also connect the micro-usb from the camera to the pc? I have already Elgato Camlink connected to my M50, so... I should also connect the micro-usb + the camlink, or? But if i have both connected, it doesn't display the screen. But, when i remove the camlink/micro-hdmi from the slot, THEN the screen comes up... So, i cannot use Camlink? ... I am so confused and puzzled about this.
Thanks for your video. I use the Samson G-Track Pro as my microphone. With the new EOS Utility Webcam app, what's the max resolution I can get from USB into OBS on the M50?
I’m having trouble with my camera appearing on pc, I downloaded the latest software and I have connected the usb cord not using the hdmi. Do I need to pair up my camera with pc via Bluetooth or wifi first ? In order for me to see my face on my monitor ?
Does the video and audio sync well when do live streaming? Usually the video is little slower(later) than the audio. How much is the software? Any free software can do the same job?
Hi, thank you very much for these videos, very helpful. May I please ask your help. I bought the canon M50 and Elgato camlink 4k for live streaming, zoom meeting and prezi presentation. For some strange reason, the camlink shuts off after 1 minute so no camera feed to any of the apps. I use the micro HDMI to HDMI cable to connect the capture card to the canon, in addition to the USB cable supplied with the camlink. I have followed al your instructions in this and other videos but the camlink still shuts off after a minute. I wanted to check if this is a faulty camlink I have or is there something I am doing wrong. I suspect I need to change something on the camera setting
Im using a canon m50 & green screen.. What video editing program do you recommend me to use with a windows laptop ? & also what capture card do you recommend to me for capturing video from a Xbox One x & a 4k TV ?
Hi Bobby. For video editing, check out Filmora. For a capture cards, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/XKVrK4Y0ehg/w-d-xo.html let me know if you have any questions.
Great video - We just got the M50 and Sparkocam. We are using Streamlabs OBS and I see two inputs for Sparkocam with the HDMI connected and USB. Both are not that great. There is also a separate Canon signal coming from the HDMI but it has the menu icons on it so I am assuming that is not the sparkocam. What input do you use in OBS to get HDMI signal.
Thanks so much 🙏 I know there is another video out there saying you can use both - but that video is inaccurate. They were simply using the HDMI with manual focus (even though they misspoke and said that they were getting a better signal through the HDMI). There is no way to get a clean HDMI with the M50. So if you look at my video, I'm using the SparkoCam feed which is slightly worse, but better (for me) than using manual focus. I really hope this was helpful.
@@TechGearTalk Thank you so much for the reply. That other video out there misled me a bit. I spent significant time trying to get a clean HDMI signal out using autofocus and SparkoCam. We may try manual focus or try to go the route of upgrading to a camera with a clean HDMI out. Your video was great though and very informative. Keep it up!
Glad it was helpful. If you're looking for a super easy upgrade, this is it: th-cam.com/video/Nir8pfvfdFI/w-d-xo.html Just remove your M50, use all the same gear, and you're golden!
I’m using an Elgato camlink 4K from my M 50 into my Mac. The picture goes black every 30 minutes. I contacted Canon direct and they don’t have a solution. Any suggestions?
Why is my zoom video pausing/lagging whenever I use my m50 as my webcam with dummy battery? Yes it does not disconnect as often as before when I was still using the actual battery. But the video lag is kind of frustrating whenever I’m in a meeting. Send help! 🙏🏻☺️
Thanks so much this video. Please can you share list of budget canon cameras with Clean HDMI i can get to start up my livestream biz?...... Thank you in advance
Thanks for sharing, my audio choice is Zoom H5 or H6. You have both microphone and audio mixer/recorder in a single solution. Also waiting to see rode videomic ntg
What is your workflow with the EOS app? Do you record with manual focus and use the app to set focus first? Or you just use it to keep the camera running.
I use auto focus but as I said I've had tons of issues with the camera freezing no matter what I use. I have cam link I have had spark cam and I used the EOS app. Nothing has made my camera not freeze!!
How can I consume the Shotgun mic I have on my M50 using a camlink? I'm not getting the audio recording from the shotgun mic I've got plugged in into my sparkocam
I bought the wave 3, and had no idea it doesn't work with the M50, ugh so now I'm looking at other options. Question if I'm starting a podcast or streaming live...what do I need, if one mic is USB, (wave 3 ) and the other mic is a XLR?
great video, it really helped me but i do have a question... While streaming the camera goes off and the screens shows a colorful screen like if theres not signal, but the camera is connected tho. Is there any option to disable the screen saver or power saver while streaming? after 30 mn of use the camera goes offline, idk what to do.

I guess with the software you recommended, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
Is using it for Live streaming safe for the sensor and camera health ? Thanks.
u get no FULLHD out of sparko cam and ist not smoth as like with a HDMI out so not useable for me.
Hi I am a subscriber. All this stuff is a lot for me to learn here. I have the Canon M50 and learnt a lot from your videos. I need to Live stream an event at the end of the mont but I am lost Lol. I just bought a Cam link capture card and now I have camera and capture card and am lost. Shouldn't I just take it back and buy a logitech web cam?
Hey cool video. I am researching on replacing my webcam. I already have SparkoCam license for both Nikon and Canon and have been using it for my Nikon D500, but no face-tracking. This seems like a great option instead of going for something like Sony A6600
hi, nikon p1000 is limited in 30 min video shooting, right? how about sony rx10 iv .is there a limit in video shooting?please reply, thanks
Hi, answered in the other video
I have bought an M50 and an elgato capture card and i was thinking either to use Sparkocam or Vmix.
Correct me if i understood you the wrong way about the auto - shut off function.
If i am using my capture card for HDMI, does it mean the auto - shut off function will NOT be deactivated?
But if i am connected with a USB connection it WILL BE DEACTIVATED?
Or IS IT DEACTIVATED WITH BOTH, HDMI and USB, when using Sparkocam or Vmix?
Thank you for your time and answer!!
Hi Patrick. If you are going to use a Capture card, you don't need sparkocam, you can just install the free EOS Utility app, and your autoshut off issue is resolved. If you want to use autofocus, then you don't need a capture card and you can just use Sparkocam. Does that make sense?
Tech Gear Talk yes thank you! 🙏🏽
Glad I could help!
SparkoCam is expensive for only the use of gett rid of the overlay, do you know any other app that has the option to do the same??? Very good video!! On point with everything, thanks!
We do a TH-cam channel of our travels. And I also stream on Twitch occasionally. For a microphone, I suggest a dynamic mic, I use the Rode ProCaster currently. Unless you are in a controlled environment a condenser mic is going to pick up environmental noises. I moved from the Rode NT1 and never looked back. Thanks for the great video's. We just purchased a Canon M50 and are trying it out for our travel videos, and will be using it for live streams too.
Appreciate you taking the time to contribute and share your experience with mics 🙏
Still love your channel, man. I tried Sparkocam with my T3i. While I can get full 1080p, I seem to be getting 15-20fps in the video, and nothing close to 30fps. The computer I have it connected to is a fast, powerful computer with 32gb ram and everything else pretty decked out. Have you experienced a slower, choppier framerate when using Sparkocam? It's hard to tell in this video. I would say Sparkocam is worth investing in, if the framerate was normal. But, connecting via USB (which is what I'm doing)... isn't giving me the 30fps. And I tried a USB 3.0 port as well... (don't know if that would make any difference). Thoughts? Thanks!!!
Hi, i'ts just me or from Sparkocam to OBS loses a lot of quality? I mean, in sparkocam te quality is ok ( not as much as hdmi), but when i put Sparkocam source on OBS, the quality is even worse.. Anyone had this problem? i could i fix that? Thank you!
That’s interesting - I did not notice this. If I put SC in full screen mode it looks like OBS. Can you do a side by side and dm me on IG
@@TechGearTalk I would love to know what you think about this. I am thinking of downloading SparkoCam.
Sparko cam takes the interface? It doesn’t need to be camera specific? Any old interface? I like my onyx interface preamps and condenser mics.
So I have the M50 Mark One, and I am struggling with this autofocus rectangle.
Sparko Cam only works with PC and Im on a mac.
I guess I will have to use it without autofocus?
I Running the EOS utility fixes the 30min stop, but its a bit off a hassle to connect to it every time over wifi.
Thnx for taking the time.
A seems to be HDMI and B is SparkoCam? Or is it? 😅
SC seems to be quite good anyway or how do you think about it?
Isn't it basically a camera's “live view“? So what about for example the frame rate, is it really a 30fps or something slower? And what about the resolution?
How does the video sync with your voice, is the video lagging behind or is it ok?
Nice if you have time to answer and great info from you anyhow 👍🙌
1. Yes, SC seems quite good
2. The resolution is 1080p and yes, 30fps
3. There is no audio coming from the camera. When you stream, you need an audio source - like a USB mic
Hope I was able to help.
Is there a mac alternative of Sparkocam? Thanks!
Hi, I am quite new to photography and video creation, I have this dilemma choosing between M50 and Sony A6400. My TH-cam will be educational type where I will usually sit there and teach through the video. I am planning to do TH-cam as long term side project. What would you suggest?
I believe that the Canon is easier to learn and use - I also like the color right out of the camera better. The a6400 is a more powerful camera.
If you want 4K and more features from Canon, check out the: th-cam.com/video/Nir8pfvfdFI/w-d-xo.html
a6400 vs m50 th-cam.com/video/68CCV_WDIkk/w-d-xo.html
Love my M50 but do not like that it doesn't have clean HDMI out from cam but just use a different cam to live stream. Great info thanks.
Hello hope everyone is doing great 🙂. I have a question. I have a canon m100 with kit lens. Should I purchase 16mm sigma lens 1.4 for this body. Or purchase m200. ? I mean is it worth it to purchase m200 in 2020 or stick with my canon m100. And purchase a sigma lens thanks 😊
It depends on your goals. Normally, I recommend investing in lenses.
Last question! In your opinion is there any benefits of running my camera with HDMI through Cam Link instead of just using my USB through SparkoCam? I don't see the reason to spend the money on Camlink when SparkoCam picks up my feed, and looks pretty great
I'm not sure I understand the question (beyond what the video explains). HDMI through CamLink is a little higher quality, but you lose autofocus. SparkoCam gives you autofocus, at a slightly lower quality. Does that make sense?
@@TechGearTalk yeah that does. If it's just an auto focus thing, and I don't get any other benefits through CamLink I'll just stick to SparkoCam
Ah, got it.
Is the quality a lot better using HDMI out to capturecard and then sparco instead of USB? Is there ANY limitations using Sparco?
The best quality is HDMI, second best is sparcocam (I show both)
Sparko does not help me for what I am trying to use my M50 for. Is there any way to use the HDMI output without losing the camera screen?
Is it worth the upgrade from an m200 to a m50 and/or m50 mk2 if I only want it to do live streams using hdmi anda catpure card? (I grab sound from an external device) Ive seeing all your reviews but I cant be sure :(
Just starting to use my Canon EOS M50 for shooting TH-cam videos via HDMI, and this autofoc box is so annoying that I’m just considering upgrading my camera atp 😅
Doesn't the EOS Webcam Utility Software enable clean live streaming with all possible settings like auto focus via an USB connection? Is this software newer than this video? Or am I missing something?
Thanks, but I have a question! A SparkoCam alternative for Mac? 👍🏽
When I use my Cannon M50 as a webcam, it freezes sometimes. Why is that? I'm not using a capture card.
I'll be saving this video for reference when my camera comes in the mail next week
Hi! I've just connected my M50 to Sparkocam (usb to micro usb) and there is a 2 or 3 second lag on the camera visual. I think I also experienced this when doing a window display via OBS. Is it supposed ot happen or is there something I can do to fix this? Many thanks! S.
Micro or Mini HDMI cable? which is better? or Micro to USB? you don''t mention anything about the cables and differences, thanks.
Purchased Sparkocam to use with my M50. Confused as to how you got it to recognize your camera under the 'Canon Camera' dropdown. The only way it finds my camera is with the Camlink... but then I have all of the issues of the menu items and autofocus. You mentioned connecting with an HDMI. How did you do that and still pull up that menu to make adjustments? Is there a particular cable? Micro HDMI to USB3?
Hi. For sparkocam - I only use a micro usb cable. If it doesn't work - try a different cable. You need a micro usb that can transfer data and power. Let me know.
Hey man! I’m buying 3 units of Canon M50 to connect to my Switcher (Atem Mini). How can I make this app (SparkoCam) solve my problem of 30 minuts limit for all of my cameras at the same time during my live streaming?
Whats the difference between using sparkocam and the EOS utility?
I only get 576p via USB, and 1080p with HDMI, but using HDMI shot off my cam after 30 mins. So frustrating. is there a solution to hi res with unlimited stream time?
Nice video. Canon M50 or 200d mark ii for photography and Streaming? Btw does camera shuts down after streaming for 30mins? I saw in many videos it shuts down after 30mins.
M50 for photos 200d Mark ii for streaming. 200d Mark ii has a clean hdmi output. th-cam.com/video/XKVrK4Y0ehg/w-d-xo.html
Tech Gear Talk Thanks brother. How about the time limit? Does the camera shuts down after 30mins?
Sl3 can stream for as long as you have power. M50 with this app will also stay on for streaming
Tech Gear Talk Thanks for the info brother.
🙏
I’m trying to use the deity D3 V-Mic Pro for audio, but somehow the mic source is not coming through the M50 camera through my 4K Elgato Cam Link source. Any thoughts/help much appreciated
What’s best for connecting M50 to atem mini iso.. b/c I can still see all the settings on all the footage . I thought I’d just be able to disable all the settings from being exposed.. and do you have the link to the dummy battery
Love ur videos. Bought M50 after i cleared my doubts by watching ur videos. Could you please tel if there is a way to directly record video from M50 into computer.
Glad I could help! Yes, if you use OBS (FREE streaming software) you can hit "start recording" instead of "start streaming" and it will record to the computer. Hope that helps.
This is what i don't understand... In order to use the Sparkocam, you must also connect the micro-usb from the camera to the pc? I have already Elgato Camlink connected to my M50, so... I should also connect the micro-usb + the camlink, or? But if i have both connected, it doesn't display the screen. But, when i remove the camlink/micro-hdmi from the slot, THEN the screen comes up... So, i cannot use Camlink? ... I am so confused and puzzled about this.
Hi. Are you using the M50 to record this?
Sagi, Will this lens work for auto-focus for videos with the Canon M50 on my mac? Thanks!
Thanks for your video. I use the Samson G-Track Pro as my microphone.
With the new EOS Utility Webcam app, what's the max resolution I can get from USB into OBS on the M50?
I’m having trouble with my camera appearing on pc, I downloaded the latest software and I have connected the usb cord not using the hdmi. Do I need to pair up my camera with pc via Bluetooth or wifi first ? In order for me to see my face on my monitor ?
Hi. Does the M50 stream at 1080p when connected via usb?
Thanks.
Does the video and audio sync well when do live streaming? Usually the video is little slower(later) than the audio. How much is the software? Any free software can do the same job?
OBS let's you "offset" the audio to sync it if you have issues. It's free.
I have watched so many videos and looked everywhere to find this answer. You made this so simple! Thanks so much
So glad I could help Shane. Thanks for being part of the channel!
On the SparkoCam, is there an option for Mac? I found the driver for Windows only. Thanks!
So I have a problem. I bought the plug in battery but lost the cable. where could i buy a replacement?
Hi, thank you very much for these videos, very helpful.
May I please ask your help. I bought the canon M50 and Elgato camlink 4k for live streaming, zoom meeting and prezi presentation. For some strange reason, the camlink shuts off after 1 minute so no camera feed to any of the apps. I use the micro HDMI to HDMI cable to connect the capture card to the canon, in addition to the USB cable supplied with the camlink. I have followed al your instructions in this and other videos but the camlink still shuts off after a minute. I wanted to check if this is a faulty camlink I have or is there something I am doing wrong. I suspect I need to change something on the camera setting
Im using a canon m50 & green screen.. What video editing program do you recommend me to use with a windows laptop ? & also what capture card do you recommend to me for capturing video from a Xbox One x & a 4k TV ?
Hi Bobby. For video editing, check out Filmora. For a capture cards, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/XKVrK4Y0ehg/w-d-xo.html let me know if you have any questions.
what's a good setting to use with the m50 with lens kit? just got mine and not sure. got 2 round led lights as well.
Great video - We just got the M50 and Sparkocam. We are using Streamlabs OBS and I see two inputs for Sparkocam with the HDMI connected and USB. Both are not that great. There is also a separate Canon signal coming from the HDMI but it has the menu icons on it so I am assuming that is not the sparkocam. What input do you use in OBS to get HDMI signal.
Thanks so much 🙏 I know there is another video out there saying you can use both - but that video is inaccurate. They were simply using the HDMI with manual focus (even though they misspoke and said that they were getting a better signal through the HDMI). There is no way to get a clean HDMI with the M50. So if you look at my video, I'm using the SparkoCam feed which is slightly worse, but better (for me) than using manual focus. I really hope this was helpful.
@@TechGearTalk Thank you so much for the reply. That other video out there misled me a bit. I spent significant time trying to get a clean HDMI signal out using autofocus and SparkoCam. We may try manual focus or try to go the route of upgrading to a camera with a clean HDMI out. Your video was great though and very informative. Keep it up!
Glad it was helpful. If you're looking for a super easy upgrade, this is it: th-cam.com/video/Nir8pfvfdFI/w-d-xo.html
Just remove your M50, use all the same gear, and you're golden!
I’m using an Elgato camlink 4K from my M 50 into my Mac. The picture goes black every 30 minutes. I contacted Canon direct and they don’t have a solution. Any suggestions?
Is SparkoCam PC only? Mac is not supported? What dos a Mac person do to get a clean image? Thank you
Hi, yes, sparko cam is only for PC. There is a link in the description to a mac option. Let me know how it works.
Why is my zoom video pausing/lagging whenever I use my m50 as my webcam with dummy battery? Yes it does not disconnect as often as before when I was still using the actual battery. But the video lag is kind of frustrating whenever I’m in a meeting. Send help! 🙏🏻☺️
Great channel. I use iMac with capture card with my Canon m50 and Ecamm. Is there an option for clean AF? Thanks!
How can you get a blurry background using the kit lens ? Is it possible? I tried using F3.5 but background only slightly blurry !
Thanks so much this video. Please can you share list of budget canon cameras with Clean HDMI i can get to start up my livestream biz?......
Thank you in advance
Thanks for sharing, my audio choice is Zoom H5 or H6. You have both microphone and audio mixer/recorder in a single solution. Also waiting to see rode videomic ntg
Appreciate you taking the time to watch and to share your personal experience - those are 2 great options.
Also do you have a link to the battery power source thing? I can go through your link.
Thank you for explaining can you help me I am unable to get eos option when trying to use m50 as webcam
I use the EOS app. I have the cam link but indont need it depends on what your also trying to do. It's free as well
What is your workflow with the EOS app? Do you record with manual focus and use the app to set focus first? Or you just use it to keep the camera running.
I use auto focus but as I said I've had tons of issues with the camera freezing no matter what I use. I have cam link I have had spark cam and I used the EOS app. Nothing has made my camera not freeze!!
Wow, SparkoCam is great! Incredibly easy to implement and the video quality is great. Thanks for sharing!
So glad I could help and that it's working well for you!
but how use usb cable connection for long distance location between camera and the computer ??
How can I consume the Shotgun mic I have on my M50 using a camlink? I'm not getting the audio recording from the shotgun mic I've got plugged in into my sparkocam
Can M50 ii live streaming for long time like for 2 hr or 3 hr
I bought the wave 3, and had no idea it doesn't work with the M50, ugh so now I'm looking at other options. Question if I'm starting a podcast or streaming live...what do I need, if one mic is USB, (wave 3 ) and the other mic is a XLR?
you would need an interface for the XLR mic to connect to your computer (and of course the Wave 3 is already connected). Hope that helps.
great video, it really helped me but i do have a question... While streaming the camera goes off and the screens shows a colorful screen like if theres not signal, but the camera is connected tho. Is there any option to disable the screen saver or power saver while streaming? after 30 mn of use the camera goes offline, idk what to do.
