Previously released in beta form, the Canon EOS Webcam Utility is now available and supports a much wider range of cameras, including older Canon EOS DSLRs. This software will be particularly useful if you've started working from home, and need to attend virtual meetings, or useful if you've been unable to find a webcam, due to them mostly being sold out.
