How I Can Use My Camcorder As A Webcam.

I did it using an HDMI Video Capture Card from Amazon. I bought the- get ready for the the l-o-n-g Amazon title: GRACETOP Audio Video Capture Card for Switch FHD 1080P HDMI to USB - Record via DSLR Camcorder Action Cam, Computer Game, PS5 PS4. Do you have an old (or even new) camcorder or DSLR camera? If it has HDMI out, like my Canon Vixia HF R800, you can easily use it as a webcam with this HMDI video capture device. The company says it supports 1080P@30fps (Max) /720P@30fps/VGA resolution. USB Capture suitable for broadcast, live stream, Skype, etc. No Driver needed, works on Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, min to no lag/latency. Product does not include video editing software, you can use the usual video capture software. Device is compatible with most 3rd party software such as OBS Studio and AMCap. See software compatibility list on the Amazon page description. Compatible with Windows 7/8.1/10 and Mac OS 10.12 or later. This device is plug-n-play and easy to use, no need to download drivers. At first my camcorder image kept going on and off, but after replugging both ends of the cable in again, it worked perfectly. You'll see the results on this week's show.
