Camera to macbook

I have a canon 90D DSLR camera and I want to look at photos from the camera on my MacBook without downloading them. I have a mini HDMI cable from the camera connected to a USB-C port on the MacBook but the computer is not recognizing the camera.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.7

When you boot into Safe Mode, items load by default, with certain settings and caches set aside. Go here: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support

See if creating and logging in as a new administrator does the trick. There may be something misconfigured in your current user - something that is getting in the way. Go to: System Preferences > Users & Groups > Unlock > Click: "+" > Create the new administrator
