How to connect my dslr camera to laptop

[iamakinola]

Hello guys,
Please i have been trying on how i can connect my dslr/camcorder cameras to my laptop to project my camera view to live. (Church project to facebook stream live)

The cameras has mini hdmi output and also AV output.
Can someone who has successfully set this up before tell me how he/she did it?

You will need an HDMI video capture device, such as the Elgato Camlink.

I'd recommend connecting the camera to a TV first though, to check if it outputs 'clean' HDMI, or if it forces the camera's information-overlay to be shown on the HDMI output ('dirty' HDMI).
