Can't connect Canon t3i as a webcam

Hi guys, I'm trying to connect a Canon t3i as a webcam using Canon's Webcam Utility software and it's not working. It doesn't even recognize the camera.

I tried using OBS, but it consumes a lot from the computer and doesn't work on all platforms I need. Example: works on mmhmm, but doesn't work on Meet.

Any advices? My op. system is macOS Monterey 12.4.

Thank you

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.4

Elgato Cam Link 4K Camera does not show up inside import dialog I am using the newest FCP software in trial mode for Mac. A Sony a6000 is connected via Cam-Link 4K in 1080p50 mode. Unfortunately the camera does not show up inside the import dialog like e.g. the Facetime camera does. I tried it on another Mac (mini 2021) with a fresh install and I exchanged the capture card for another brand. None of them bring up the camera. Photo Booth and other software does show the camera on the same system. I rebootet as well with only FCP running. Same result. How can I show the camera inside the import dialog in order to record directly from it?

External web cam produces no video I have a Logitech Brio 500 webcam. When I plug it in, it shows up in the video menu of both FaceTime and PhotoBooth, but the picture is black. If I switch to the built-in camera, then I get a picture. If I move the webcam to a Windows machine, it works fine. What could be blocking the video, but letting me pick it in the video menus?

What did Canon have to say? It's their responsibility to make their product work with Apple's OS, not the other way around.
