I'm curious if this is any more consistent than the webcam software that Canon provided for Windows and Mac. I tried the Mac implementation briefly, but found it to be _extremely_ glitchy (even with hard-wired power).

I've used it for up to 6 hours of back to back meetings without issue.

I had a similar experience as well - though I had to constantly swap batteries…

How did you hardwire power?

Not a Canon EOS user, but typically there are accessories called "dummy batteries" that take the shape of a standard battery, but is actually used by connecting to the AC socket. This way, the camera can be powered on constantly so long as the venue with the AC doesn't have a power outage.

Of course! Thanks!

There are attachments that insert directly into the battery hole which are connected to a power supply.

also, there are aftermarket versions that cost $30 instead of $150

I actually came across an Eos “webcam kit” at Walmart in-store that came with a USB cable and the AC adapter. Pricey at ~$90, but they did sell it like that.

Since all EOS R series camera's can charge their battery perfectly fine when connected to a USB-C PD charger the only thing that adapter 'fixes' is the software lock Canon placed on the camera which causes it to stop charging from USB when turned on. Smells like a software-defined business model to me...

My EOS Rebel has a DC port on the side below the USB port.
