  Canon has release a driver to use their camera as a webcam, OBS and Corel detect it as a video input, but XSplit VCam does not.

  This is a deal breaker for me if they do not hurry. Will switch to OBS since they were able to implement it quickly.

  @Robert - It's very simple to add support for the Canon EOS utility as a webcam when no calculations are being done on the source. However, this isn't the case with VCam. OBS can not remove the background of your Canon DSLR through EOS Utility without some kind of greenscreen or chroma key. Broadcaster and Gamecaster also supported EOS Utility webcams the day they were released.
  
  The issue becomes when you start getting in to the realms of machine learning, neural networks and the math required.

  I'm hoping this is still in the works and slated for release soon if possible. It is beta software at the moment so we don't mind if it's buggy at launch.

  Teams and Zoom were both quick to pick it up and be able to apply blur/backgrounds without a green screen. Is it the video support in VCam that makes this a challenge compared to what other companies have already accomplished?

  We have encountered issues with the webcam utility - issues with resolution, colorspace format, and sometimes app crashes. We have contacted the developers, and hopefully be able to add this in VCam asap.
  
  I checked if there’s an update for the webcam utility but I see the latest is still the April release 0.9.0. version.

  PLEASE DO IT! I just bought a lifetime licence and cannot use VCAM otherwise. PLEEEEEAAAASE. :)
