OBS can't see my camera

[rani_22]

I'm trying to connect my camera to my laptop through USB cable but OBS can't find it, my camera is Canon Legria HF R66 (it's video camera).
Thank you!

Cameras like that plugged in via usb do not impersonate webcams. They impersonate thumb drives or card readers. OBS cannot use them directly. You MUST have a capture card for such cameras.

What settings do you need to activate to connect OBS to my laptop camera?

What settings do you need to activate to connect OBS to my laptop camera?

For me, I choose add "Video Capture Device", name as desired, and the first option under Device for me is Integrated Webcam

What exactly do I need to do in order to stream live with my usb connection, can I simply get a HDMI adapter?

Thank you. I have searched but cannot find the route to these settings, would you be kind enough to tell me.
