So, how do you use your Panasonic camera for streaming? All you need is to download Lumix Tether for Streaming (Beta), which is derived from the existing Lumix Tether software. Panasonic has released a free beta version of new streaming software to enable a number of current Lumix cameras to function as webcams. The Lumix Tether for Streaming software adds webcam functionality to several Panasonic Lumix mirrorless cameras – and is now available in Beta for both Windows and Mac operating systems. Then just configure the camera with your video conferencing software of choice and you're ready to go! Canon has released free webcam software, EOS Webcam Utility, to turn many EOS and PowerShot cameras into high-quality USB webcams without the need to purchase any additional hardware. Once you've downloaded EOS Webcam Utility, simply connect your camera to a Windows or Mac computer with a USB cable.
