Just because it’s a good rig doesn’t mean you can use it on Zoom.

    Copying my comment from another thread on the topic

    Probably because the software team is under a different cost center than the hardware/camera team, and they weren’t generating revenue. So the idiot assholes at the top of the SW side said “we can monetize our webcam software” and a bunch of people agreed so they could look relevant and keep their jobs. Capitalism!

    I don’t understand why anyone needs a software to achieve this in the first place? I’ve hooked the camera’s HDMI out to some cheap random USB-C HDMI capture card, and use OBS to record the stream. Easy, uncompressed, no restrictions to whichever settings their software lets you access.

      You’re kinda explaining Canon’s logic here though - they want you to pay for “convenience”.

      So the $5 is the idiot tax then - for people that can’t figure it out themselves. Scummy as fuck when they could just out a youtube tutorial instead.
