New Canon EOS Webcam Utility Software

Direct from Canon Customers, The Next Chapter in the EOS Webcam Utility Software Story has Arrived with the Launch of the Full Production Version for Windows

New Version Adds More Compatible Canon EOS Cameras to the Solution and Expands to Global Usage

MELVILLE, NY, September 16, 2020 – It has been a whirlwind the last few months in the world of EOS Webcam Utility software. With over 700,000 downloads after launching the beta version of the software in April, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, has helped people stay connected with high quality video for communication with ease of use. And today, the company unveils the full production version of the EOS Webcam Utility software for Windows. The full production version expands to include additional compatible EOS Interchangeable Lens Cameras (ILC) such as the new EOS R5 and EOS R6 cameras. In addition, the new software will be available worldwide and available for download directly from the Canon website in each region.

A common thread and conversation throughout the beta software forums was the compatibility of camera models. Many customers were excited to experience the beta version of EOS Webcam Utility software and wanted the list of 25 cameras that were compatible to be more extensive. In true Canon fashion – those voices have been heard loud and clear – now, a total of 42 EOS ILC and PowerShot cameras are compatible with the full production software, including the new EOS R5 and EOS R6 cameras. The complete list of compatible cameras includes:

EOS-1D X Mark III	EOS 6D	EOS Rebel T7i	EOS Rebel T6	EOS M6 Mark II
EOS-1D X Mark II	EOS 7D Mark II	EOS Rebel T6s	EOS Rebel T5	EOS M50
EOS-1D X	EOS 7D	EOS Rebel T6i	EOS Rebel T3	EOS M200
EOS-1D C	EOS 90D	EOS Rebel T5i	EOS Rebel T100	PowerShot G5X Mark II

EOS 5D Mark III	EOS 60D	EOS Rebel SL1	EOS R
EOS 6D Mark II	EOS Rebel T8i	EOS Rebel T7	EOS RP

Another common conversation theme within the beta software forums was compatibility with third-party applications. As of announcement day, the new production version of the software has been tested* with various video conferencing applications** as well as streaming applications including:

Cisco Webex®	Messenger	Streamlabs
Discord	Microsoft Teams	YouTube Live
Facebook Live	Open Broadcaster Software®️	Zoom
Hangouts™	Skype

Moreover, customers have desired to record a high-quality video file onto the memory card in their camera while video conferencing or streaming, and we listened. This can now be achieved*** by simply pressing the record button on the camera and not through the software.
