Canon and Panasonic have released free software that lets you use your professional camera as a webcam for live streaming, even if you don’t own a capture card.

“This easy-to-use, plug and play solution can turn your compatible Canon camera into your main webcam using a USB cable! Watch as Canon Senior Pro Market Specialist, Genaro, takes you through the steps to install and set up your camera, as well as enable the software to be used within your favorite video conferencing app.”

To learn more about this option, check out the demo video up top, or go download the beta today.
