Connecting my 80D via EOS Utility to OBS on Mac - Not seeing picture

[rantaman]

My Canon 80D is connected to my Mac and I am able to view the "Live View" stream in my EOS Utility 3 but when I open OBS to display the feed and choose EOS Webcam Utility as the Device, the screen shows it's not connected. Help!

Properties for '80D' and OBS 29.0.2 (mac) - Profile: Untitled - Scenes: Untitled and Inbox (50) - rantaman@gmail.com - Gmail

I am using:
MacBook Pro, 2017
Canon EOS 80D
OBS 29.0.2
EOS Utility 3 3.16.11.1

Isn't the Canon webcam software/driver separate from the Utility s/w? or were they recently consolidated/combined?

From my limited tech skills, it looks like you must use the EOS Utility to access the camera from your computer...

Do yourself a favor and go read the FAQ on the Canon webcam software
On the Windows side, you could NOT have the Utility s/w and webcam s/w running at the same time.
For better advice, the Canon forums are probably a better place to ask for assistance.

Also, don't forget that the Canon 80D (which I have) has a USB2 interface, so real low resolution only via USB. Per Canon and others that have tried, for getting the best image out of the 80D, you'll want to go the HDMI out (not USB) into a HDMI capture card (USB 3.x) route (not using the Canon s/w at all)
