How to change to external cam (EOS R via usb) in FaceTime and Safari? Hi! Im trying to optimize audio and video for online video calls by using my Canon EOS R (connected via usb) as a webcam for whereby. I’ve connected an external mic (Zoom H5n) via usb without problems, it is recognized by MacOS and Safari/Whereby. But MacOS and Safari/Whereby won’t recognize the EOS R. Neither does FaceTime, QuickTime or PhotoBooth. However, using Chrome let’s me chose the EOS R as the video input. I’ve downloaded the Canon beta software to let the EOS R communicate with the Mac. The EOS R works with: Chrome Teams (app in MacOS) Skype Does not work with: Safari (or the websites I navigate to using Safari, like Whereby) Photo Booth FaceTime How can I use the EOS R with FaceTime and Whereby through Safari? Thanks!

Is there a reason you are not using the built in camera?

The reason is video quality.

Yes, your 21" has 720P. Well good luck with the Canon.
