You just saved my life! We will use this camara to livestream my wife's thesis defense and the image was freezing. I opened up the screen and problem solved! Thank you very much!!

Perfect, I'm happy it worked! And I hope the thesis defense goes well. Just make sure you have a separate audio source, as there is no audio on the USB signal.
I bought the Canon M50 for all of the hype reasons. I found that for action video, my GoPro Hero 7 Black does a better and outstanding job. But its not really good for pics with control and webcam. So I have the camera and I knew it's limitations, but the webcam thing was a bear to me. I spent so much time and a little money, ordering different cables, downloading apps, buying a HDMI video capture card and HDMI cables. All to no avail, I couldn't get the Beta app to work. In the end, it was simply using the USB micro to regular USB into my laptop, that is all the problem needed, 2 weeks and over a $100 later, I had the cable laying in a box of extra cables. Your video was simple, and sometimes, simple is good. Thanks so much.

On my setup the delays is 100 ms. Whenever it's more, I reboot my machine. But I've never had the kind of delays you're having. The only thing I could recommend is to update the firmware on the camera.
I've finally figured out how to use my Canon M50 Mii as a webcam to host hybrid meetings each month. I've been muddling my way through it and have logged countless hours here on RUclips and on OBS. The meetings I host are 90 mins in length and I'm using the setup (and many of the same products) you have shown on your channel. The last bit for me was lining up audio and video but I've done it and super excited to host the last meeting of the year today.

How to use Canon M50 microphone! As I have Boya WM4 PRO ! I am getting Video Quality from Camera but How I can get Boya WM4 PRO audio quality for Zoom Meeting? Thanks 🙏! Waiting for your Answer Sir !
3 года назад
There's no audio via the USB connection in the camera. Plug the mic into the computer instead.
Thanks for sharing. I'm planning to get one. How do you maintain eye contact with the lens? do you use a teleprompter? any tips
3 года назад+1
It's a great camera! And no, I don't use a teleprompter. Rather, for my videos, I have bullet points with what I want to say. Most times I have to do a couple of takes.
@I’d imagine that method of setting and following more of an outline rather than strictly memorizing or reading a script comes pretty naturally with your experience in standup comedy, especially when you get to pre record and do retakes rather than having to improvise on stage in front of an audience. It’s always pretty nerve wracking for me and I’m not a comedian nor have the amount of experience as you but I’ve occasionally had to present in front of a decent sized audience and I find it impossible to write and go off of a script. I always feel uncomfortable and like I’m not me, even when it’s my own script lol.
Nikon now has similar software for all their mirrorless camera, and Canon has expanded to several DSLRs. Great tool, especially using a wide angle lens in live session of hybrid Zoom to see a whole room.

Hi Markus. Our Zoom webinars run almost 2 hours. We currently have a Sony FDR AX-53 camcorder. I want to use it in a hybrid meeting setup, pointed towards the audience. Laptop is W10, running Zoom with speaker's webcam, HDMI output to overhead projector for PowerPoint. I assume that I need an Elgato Cam Link to transmit the Sony FDR signal? I guess there is no way to have both camera signals transmitted simultaneously showing both the speaker and the audience? Is the use of a Canon EOS somehow easier technically to setup for what I am trying to accomplish?
3 года назад
In principle, yes. Just make sure the camcorder has a clean HDMI out signal, meaning that it doesn't transmit all the on-screen display indicators. Also make sure it can transmit HDMI when in record mode. My Canon XF100 camcorder can only do it in playback mode, which makes it impossible to use as a webcam.
I'm very concern about the clean HDMI output..that I saw on youtube...does the Canon Utility helps to give a clean HDMI output on your computer screen.
3 года назад+1
The Canon Webcam Utility is for USB, not HDMI. And yes it's a clean video signal.
Hi again. Thank you again for this video. I have a yetti microphone attached to the camera and then the camera attached to the computer. I opened the back screen but I am still getting a voice lag on Zoom. Am I missing another setting? If I try to go into the Canon and manually change things, I seem to only make it worse.
2 года назад
With this setup, there is no audio over the USB connection. Your audio must be coming from some other source/chain. On my setup the video is delayed 100 ms. Therefore I've added an audio delay of 100 sm in OBS. Then I bring the whole package over to Zoom with the virtual camera and virtual audio cable and a plugin whose name I'm currently banking on. Maybe Audio Monitor.
@ Thanks for the response and I see! So I tried connecting the trs-to-trrs wire from the mic to the computer audio port, but I still want getting any sound. I made sure the correct side (3 black striped) was plugged into the computer, but still wasn't getting anything. Any tips on that?

In my opinion it's not worth it. But perhaps more importantly, the M50 does not have a clean HDMI signal. Which in practice means you can't use autofocus.

When using the M50, what is your solution for sound?
I currently use the Samson Q2U USB mic: amzn.to/3nWDWFH
The call outs helped me get it working. Thank you!
Glad it helped
Hi! will this work for song recording?:)
For the video part, yes. But you'll need to record the audio separately. I use a separate microphone for my video conferences and live streaming.
What is the time limit not to burn your sensors down? Canon says 30 min, has anybody tried to live stream for 1-2 hours?
I regularly use the webcam until the battery dies, which is about two hours. So should be no problem at all.
Can I use it on iPad pro?
I'm afraid I'm not sure about that one, as I don't use Apple products.
Markus Seppälä thank you,I will use it with windows 👍🏻
Not working for me , the link didn't download and the one I have it doesn't find my camera.
Sorry to hear that. When I try the link it works though!
to answer your question ,,, i want to use it to make my online magic shows look better,, also if you want i m doing free shows every week,, not sure if thats your thing,, lol ,,
That's a great use! I bet especially for magic it's essential to be able to frame the shot just right.
Anyone know how to flip the image in webcam mode?
You mean flip it horizontally, right? At least in Zoom this can be done in the video settings: "Mirror my video".
@ Ah im using streamyard
Great Vid
Thanks for watching!
I'm going to use my Canon EOS M50 for Zoom Conference Calls for work.
Excellent choice! I think your colleagues will be impressed by the video quality!
But you have to upgrade zoom for pro version otherwise out put live conference video quality is not good
@@Videographyzan I think I may have zoom pro as my company provides zoom for me to use. I'll log into zoom to make sure. Thank you for the heads up.
Nice thx Markus... greatings from Sahabat Tv
Thanks for watching!
Why i cant stream long time ? If i buy the battery charge adaptor i cant stream over 4-5 hours?
With a continuous power supply you can stream for as long as you want. Something like this: amzn.to/2IS4FEP
@ ty! I need to have the canon utility in task bar all time? Because it take a lot of cpu usage as i saw and this maybe it a problem with my fps in games while streaming. You know about this?
In order to use the Webcam Utility you actually need to quit the EOS Utility. So it shouldn't be a problem.
@ So eos utility is not running in background? How it work then?
I don't know how to answer this question I'm afraid.
It would work to me at ms teams.
Absolutely! This works great in Teams!
Спасибо большое, вы донксли все доходчиво и ясно! 👌 🙂
Thanks for watching!
it says website is down
Let's see if it comes back up soon, or if I'll have to update the link.
@ from what I read online they got a ransomware attack
You look like the professor from La Casa de pappel
Thanks! Usually people tell me I look like Stephen King. I even talked about it here: ruclips.net/video/MWCuUHf2zGk/видео.html
06:32 USING MAC??? not a solution for you..... Wish I would have known that before watching the whole video. Maybe put it in the title somewhere? Thanks!
That video is 2 years old. Now there is a Mac version.
can you use this for webex?
I haven't tried, but I would assume yes. The camera shows up as a webcam in Windows, so any application using a webcam should work. Though it's still beta, so it's not all perfect.
Too much
bla bla bla
Thanks for watching Aldo!
