FREE DSLR to Webcam Software

[Papa P]

I'm a cheap college student and would like to use my Canon T3i that I already own as a webcam for Skype calls (yeah yeah I know Skype's a shit platform but I don't really have a choice and I already own the camera). There is another thread, DSLR Camera Software, that asked a similar question and the people commenting on that gave me the same info a quick google search would give me. I also don't want to use a hardware solution because it will take too long to be delivered and it costs money.

 

So far I have tried:

EOS Utility Tool - just a live previewer

Canon Photo Professional - current version doesn't work with my camera (or I didn't get it to work)

DigiCamControl - just a live previewer

Sparkocam - Worked great but had a big ass watermark, and not one of those ignore-able water marks, like top middle of the screen all the way across water marks

 

Is there any free software out there that isn't listed above that turns my Canon into a webcam?

I had the same question earlier this week. I couldn't find a free solution that would work well. I'm using an $8 app called epocCam with my iphone (they have a free version with a watermark and support android). I'm shocked at how good the picture quality is to be honest. I'm doing emergency distancance teaching with it and using it as a document camera and it's fantastic. The only issue is you have to have this document veiwer open and can't rotate the camera.

Following topic, looked at webcams this week and they are extremely overpriced due to supply/demand at this time - however I have a nice Canon DSLR as well.

Thanks for the info, if no one comes up with some dslr software that will be a good backup option.
