    This is just their own software. I’ve seen people using it just fine with OBS.

    Doesn’t mean this isn’t a solid example of enshittification though.

    You can also buy a (used) Elgato Cam Link and use the HDMI Out of your cam to plug your DSLR into a USB-A as a Webcam.

    5 dollars a month is 60 dollars per year.

    If you head to Canon’s site, provide a name and email, and manage to grab the EOS Webcam utility when Canon’s servers are not failing, you can connect one camera, with one default scene, at 720p, 30 frames per second and adjust everything on the camera itself if you need to. Should you pay $5 per month, or $50 per year, you can unlock EOS Webcam Utility Pro (PDF link), which provides full 60 fps video

          Even then. Its a $900 camera and theyve proven theres no real reason outside of greed it cant do better.

          Its greed especially because they are charging you to use your own equipment locally, not using their servers or anything

              This is a bit silly and short sighted is it not? You own the device you should have the choice to use it at its full potential you dont have to but you have the right to.
