Terrific Kellan! Yes, I use Zoom. Yes I have a DSLR (Nikon, though... any different for setup?). And yes I have an Electric/Acoustic guitar in the background (but have my capo on the 6th fret, not 5th... will that be an issue?) Keep 'em coming KR! Love your vids, man!

Love this video! I've been looking for how to do this for so long! One thing to note, for anyone out there who wants to achieve a nice shallow depth of field (blurry background) get a lens that has an f-stop of around 1.8 or better (1.6 or 1.4).

Im so glad you needed to update your Zoom. I was on the phone with Canon and on his advice uploaded the correct Canon Webcam Utility. Then tried to find my camera on Zoom which wasn't showing. Got off the phone, saw your video, updated my Zoom and vwallah! there it was...the Canon Webcam Utility did its job and my camera was listed. Thank you!

Thank you. This was helpful. The first time I turned it all on, the Mac erroneously told me the camera (well, the EOS webcam) wasn't connected. The Mac lies about that constantly, even when I'm filming. Did a quick restart of the camera and finally the Mac behaved better. Next, I had to test the two selections Zoom gave me for the microphone. I wasn't sure by Zoom's labels which was the camera's mic and which was the Mac's.

Hey there, great video but how do you select the DSLR camera as your AUDIO source too? I now can record in Zoom using the DSLR as a webcam but the computer audio is crap. I want to use my DSRL with my external COMICA Boom XD lavalier mic and can't find any instructions how to do that. I don't see how to add the Canon M50 with COMICA Boom XD as an audio source. Good video doesn't matter if audio sucks. Any advice would be appreciated!

Kellan - Good webinar. I’m using Canon's EOS webcam software with my 70D for video calls (Zoom, etc.). (1) I've always left camera on A+. If you have the info, then I’d appreciate you sharing some manual settings for best video image ("AF," "Drive," "ISO" and any other settings needed) for 70D. (2) I’ve been using a Canon EF 40mm 1:2.8 STM Lens. Is this lens the optimum or appropriate lens for doing video calls? (3) As part of the manual settings for this lens, can you provide some info on the setting to get blurred background (rather than using Xsplit, Google/Zoom settings, etc.)? (4) Best settings and light conditions for using green screen digital backdrop? Appreciate your expertise.

Hi Kellan, After I connect the EOS with zoom, it is not in full-frame, as in, the insert video is crop and small. This means, when I use a virtual back group, I am lift-off from the base of the b/g as if I was floating. Do you have a solution for this?

Alright. So I tried this with a canon 70d and its having issues. First is that the frame rate is garbage. its like a laggy livestream quality frame rate. Second is that even with "HD" checked in the zoom settings, its saving the video in what appears to be 240p-ish quality (and with the garbage frame rate as well) With the exception of picking up better colors, my built in facetime camera on my mac actually looks better than the 70d. Any thoughts?

I need your help. I have the Canon SL2, firmware is updated, I have the webcam utility. Using OBS, with 2 other USB webcams. I want to switch between the 3 cams, using the "auto" feature in OBS [that works]. When using the Canon as a Source with the USB cable, the shutter opens, and I get a clean picture. When I click a USB webcam as a Source, the Canon shutter closes, and I then see the USB webcam. HOW CAN I PREVENT THE USB FROM CAUSING THE SHUTTER CLICK? No one on youtube talks about this issue...everyone must mute their mic, so we dont hear the click. I cant imagine...what if someone uses 3 DSLR cams with OBS? Does it click between each cam take? That would be unacceptable. So, I uninstalled the EOS Utility, plugged in usb to the Canon, to a capture card, turned the Canon ON to the camera mode...plugged the USB into my laptop, and the Canon preview screen went black...no life at all. Then in OBS, it doesnt recognize the Canon's USB. This is maddening. The DSLR is NOT plug/play friendly. I just want to turn the Canon ON, then in OBS, be able to switch to another USB cam, then back to the Canon, then to another USB cam....all with silence. Is this possible?
