Question of the Day 💡What are you using for your webcam? Let us know! **** Checkout the $20 HDMI Capture Card HERE ➡ geni.us/zt7Q8 (Amazon)
I'm trying to us an A7C, but it's not working at all. It was on the Imaging Edge list so it should work. I also don't see where to change from my webcam to the now set up and plugged in A7C.
Hi, How can I use FX3 Sony camera as a web cam?
ZV-E10/BRIO 4K 😎
Two Sony ZV-1 cameras. Love them both! Just trying to find the power adaptor so I can go longer than 45 mins!
how you do for CZcams??
I had the hardest time trying to get my Sony a7rv to work as a webcam through HDMI. I updated the firmware. Matched your settings and it worked. So thank you
Hella useful today; I have two of them I plan to use for a livestream this weekend, so this really helps get the right pieces together. Thanks!
As always, quality and content is great! Thank you for the tips!
You just saved me a TON of $$$ because I almost bought another camera. I have the Sony FDR-AX53 and could not figure out how to set it up for Streamyard. I had the capture card and everything. Now to fiddle with the ATEM Mini and get this show rolling. Thank you!
Man, thank you so much for this! I have no interest in live streaming or using my camera as a webcam, but I lost some settings and could NOT figure out why my gimbal and external power weren't powering my camera all of a sudden! After two days of stress I found the answer here -- the PC remote has to be turned on and set to USB to get external power. Thank you!!!!
I needed this last week!! I’m so grateful for you guys!!
Thank you think for always bringing us new hints.
I so love you used the Sony A7C as the example for this. Love my A7C. I've been using a Logitech StreamCam but it doesn't do the best with lighting. Thanks for this!
This was just stunning and crystal clear.
Thank you for this basic breakdown and what is needed to make it happen!
Super clean as always 🙏🏾
So freakin helpful! I couldn't get that menu off of the webcam shot and this fixed it so easy!!! Think Media fan 4ever ♥
THANK YOU SO MUCH. Couldn't figure out the HDMI info display off, and now my camera looks amazing in OBS. Y'all rule.
I just came in the hope, that you have a solution for the battery run out fact. And you have! Awesome!
Love your video for think media. You helped me with my twitch setup. Thank you
Yooo! This was useful, concise and clear. I tried this on my own without watching this video and it was a frustrating half hour wasted. Now I can't wait to look crispy fresh using this method of connecting my ZV-1F! Thank you!
does it work for u?
@@JayWoahLive It does, but I had to call Sony to figure it out. LOL. The ZV-1F just needs the USB cable and then to be put into USB mass storage mode, then it works as a webcam. No additional software needed.
@@airbnbgirllaura what about hdmi
@@JayWoahLive Didn't work for webcam, only the USB cable.
Excellent vid, thank you. Ended up purchasing everything in your video to create my own setup.
What is the name of the wire apart from Capture card
i'd like to point out that you can also plug in your sony camera with the USB cable to charge it as well. not sure if you have to buy the battery adapter.
Needed this! Thank you!
Thanks for the tutorial
Thanks amigo helpful video !
Omar thanks so much my next shooting will be great
amazing video! helped me a lot!
Jesus I saw many videos Na had no patience, and yours is simple and easy, tks for that!!!
Thank you for your clear explanation. Can I record internally on to the card, while live streaming?
Love your videos. Can you confirm on the ZV-E10 that when streaming via HDMI that you actually *need* the continuous power adapter? Couldn't you just plug in with the available USB-C on the camera to get this power?
Never thought about this!
Thank you for the video, very clear and direct. Regarding the dummie battery and AC adaptor you mentioned, wouldn't a USB cable plugged in the camera for charging purposes have the same result (i.e. ongoingly charging the camera)?
It doesn't work this way unfortunately. It will for a little but if you're live streaming youll want the continuous battery.
This was really helpful. Can I also plug the HDMI into an video encoder and into my ethernet switch with the same settings?
I don't even have a Sony camera 📷 but awesomeness content...
Streaming with the ZV-E10, what's the longest streaming prior to camera overheating? Great video
I Love ❤️ Your Videos
Great video, thanks! For power, can't you just plug your sony directly into the socket via USB?
QUESTION: Could you include the links to the plug in mic's as well mentioned in this video?
That was seriously my favorite thumbnail haha
Thank you.
CZcams asked me to rate this video and I said very happy 😃 and labeled it useful. 😊
Will this works on the Rx1r or Rx1rm2? Nice video great lighting too
The USB cable will power camera by charging battery on the A6100 and you don’t need a capture card. do you know if the HDMI cable will do so also? Great content.
Nice sharing 😃😃
I'm going to use my Sony A73. I have a 12-24 f/4 or a 55prime 1.8 Ziess which would be better for recording CZcams videos? Also, can you make a recommendation for an HDMI cable that works with this Sony camera. Mine only came with a USM cable to hook to the laptop. Thanks. Terri. GREAT VIDEO!! Thanks
Hi!! What's the quick mount you are usuing to make a quick attach to the tripod?
this was great thanks. with hdmi output setting on cam. its fine 24p? also do you have a best suggestion for cam to get for this please. dont want to spent a lot more than £600 if possible. thanks a lot o/
Does it make a difference in terms of quality when youuse the hdmi? I use the sv-1 for video recordi g, not webcam. ThNks
I was wondering if this method be used for connection to an external monitor (is there a video for this)?
I have a sonyfx30 camera. I upgraded to version 3.0. When I connect it to the PC, the imaging edge works directly as a webcam without the need for a webcam application.
You don't even need imaging edit , camera has an inbuilt driver to function as a webcam
Some Sony Cameras like the 7C works with HDMI and USB connected at the same time, so power can come from the USB cable. I don't get that to work for my older A6400.
Is there a way to have two camera using two capture cards on the same PC? I use a laptop so I'm looking for maybe a hub for multiple things at once.
That thumbnail is HILARIOUS 😂
Can you help with how to turn your smart phone into a camera for recording CZcams videos but recording directly to your computer or using computer as the monitor to see yourself??..Samsung Note 10 plus with a MacBook Air ???
Hey Omar and @ThinkMedia, team! It's Ross Yerger, a member of the VRA group. I just had a custom PC built for me and my CZcams studio. I have TWO Sony ZV-1 cams that I use in my studio and love them, with one exception: I don't know where to find that power pack that you mention in this video to replace a battery. My batteries last about 45 mins, maybe, and to switch them out while screwed to tripods or other gear, makes me, well, screwed! It seems as though while plugged into USB, even with power "on," it doesn't charget the battery. I'm told that's because the entire device would get too hot. Can you recommend a particular power adaptor? Thank you! -Yergz
While it's live streaming are you able to record the file to the camera as well?
Hi there , i've got as a present the old Sony CyberShot DSC-HX9V and i have a laptop win 11 with an HDMI port. so can i use the Sony CyberShot DSC-HX9V as an external webcam?? or filming directlt on my hdd of the pc connectin the HDMI cable Cybershot - pc ?? thanks a lot
I totally want to love this camera but still feel that in 2021 going to 2022 it should have some extra stuff that panasonic could cram into G85 in 2016 😢😢😢 Also, some have mentioned that the fullHD is line skipped 1080p. Haven't really compare that thoroughly with other camera, but if it's actually pretty bad then it's sadly not for me since I'm mostly gonna do things in 1080.
Hi there! Quick question for you. If you have a Mac and are trying to record yourself in iMovie for CZcams, how are you able to do it? I am trying to record myself directly using the webcam so I can import it and use it in a CZcams video but I’m having issues. Do you use premiere pro for your CZcams videos? Thanks!

Ok, finally got a light used A7 ii, suggestions?
It's ok to feel stressed and emotional because sometimes life just becomes really busy and stressful. Let it out, cry and then get back on your feet. Because it's not about how many times you can hit. It's about how many times you can get hit... And keep moving forward! 💪🏻
bro, wtf. This video is about cameras
Hello bro, thanks for a gteat video. Can I use the SONY RX100 III as a webcam ?
Can you connect 3 cameras to imaging edge? Then use OBS to switch between them?
Is it possible to use the camera's HDMI output while keeping it powered by USB? Without needing a continuous battery adapter?
Can you use the output from an atom mini as a video source going into an iPad Pro?
Thank you! Using your capture card and my sony camera, the aspect ratio is wrong -- I'm all stretched out. Any tips?
Question, I got a Capture Card and utilized it w/ StreamYards but as happy as I am that the Camera (Sony VZ1), I'm wondering how to remove the menu screen? Is it a mode or setting I need to change? I see that there's a camera, video, and S&Q mode and I'm wondering if that's something to look into? Any recommendations?
which cable to connect sony zv1 to hdmi since you said it was the best? About 6 feet long???
can the camera be used with atem mini? because most of the youtuber said use capture card, and i have not found anyone who said it can be used with atem ini
Hey Omar, I have Mac OS Sonoma and the sony imaging edge webcam doesn’t work. I have the a7C. Was wondering if you know how to fix it ?
Sorry, a question for everyone, if you use a camera as webcam, coud you incurr in overheating problems or run out of space in the ssd? Does the camera write somewhere when used as webcam?
Hi! The Sony A7iii only has a MICRO hdmi, not the regular HDMI. Would the usb or the MICRO hdmi give better quality?
Great video. I am considering buying this camera for filming in the street but also for my online classes that I record. Can I use this camera as a webcam AND record it in 4k as well at the same time?
To specify: Can I use it as a webcam in 4k and record my skype sessions at the same time?
Yes you can, it will be in the setting@@vikingexploring
I would just like to point out from trial and error myself which I don't feel like is mentioned in these kinds of videos (I dont know if this is obvious or not but it wasnt to me) that the HDMI capture card will only capture the resolution on the LCD screen (unless there is a way to live capture from the lens instead and if so please tell me how to), so for example, if your LCD screen is roughly 900000 dots like mine is then it is only in 640x480p which, I guess is fine for zoom calls and stuff but if you are thinking of using it for 1080p quality it won't really cut it :( the only workaround really would be to capture raw footage but then you have 30 min cut off points and battery issues etc which can be accounted for I just really wish there was a 'plug and play' option to get max quality hooked directly to the PC to be monitored in OBS etc
There is. For some reason he recommended a low-quality capture card. Everyone else recommends the Elgato - Cam Link 4K which will give you full quality.
When live streaming through hdmi, how or what setting will get the display to turn off? I worry that live streaming with also the display on will wear out the display. Hopefully you or somebody else who reads this has the answer for me. ;-)
Hello, I just bought Sony a57 and after watching yoru video on streaming with Sony camera, i tried using Hdmi cable with capture card but the image is not clear at all, just wanted to know what am missing
I desperately want this camera
hi! I have the sony cybershot hx9v model which is not listed in the download page of the imaging edge desktop app. what to do?
Please help me!
I've got an Elgato HD60 S. Will that work for the capture?
Can i use sony dsc-wx500 as a webcam ? does it have clean hdmi out? can i charge it continuously?
What is the lens you’re using here? Or the best lens for live-streaming?
does this work if i just want to use my PC as a monitor while filming?
Great video, I have a question, when I use my Sony A7C + HDMI capture card in Zoom, when I de-selected HD in Zoom settings, my video got distorted, like it’s squeezed toward the center. (Forcing to 720P?), when I selected HD, the video looks normal. But HD option isn’t available in other conference softwares. Why is this happening? Is there a fix?
Better use type c cable and let camera show as usb webcam.
Also needs 5Gbps usb c cable to access 1080p+ resolution
I have a lumix g7 does it work the same way with these steps ?
Question: Do I really need the capture card device if my laptop has an hdmi plug . Can I not plug the camera directly to my hdmi plug on my laptop?
Yes you will still need a capture card! The HDMI port on your laptop is for a monitor so it's an "out signal" whereas the capture card makes it an "in signal"
Can you do 4k with this option or does it have to be 1080?
Can you do this using the FX3?
What Sony camera was shown in this video?
Is there a big difference in quality using USB vs. HDMI + capture card?
*Are there any USB-C capture cards?*
Nice Steup Think Media
Sony Always push it's quality limits
I’m interested Omar.
Why do you recommend the HDMI method over the USB?
(Is the software not as perfect as it could be or is it image quality or data speeds or something else ?)
Always enjoy your videos - thanks 🙏
I believe USB only gives you 720p whereas the HDMI method gives you 1080p and if you get the 4K capture card can stream in 4K.
Thanks for the research Scott 👍
using usb, my a6400 resolution is 1024x576 and 30 fps on obs , but the frame looks like under 30 i think.. see at 2:18
if you use hdmi , it follows the capture card maximum res and camera setting
will the capture card downgrade the HDMI 4k
I have an old sony camera from more than 10 years ago that does not seem to support this function, is there any way to implement it？
Does it overheat and turn off after 20-30 minutes?
can we stream 4k using hdmi out of zv-e10 in photo mode?
Do I need to use a capture card if I am going direct to an HDMI monitor using a micro HDMI to HDMI cable?
I have the same question
Sadly yes. For the Sony 6300 is no longer supported for livestreaming via the imaging app.
I don't get why one should use this cumbersome way of setting up a webcam connection. With my Sony A7c you can simply use the "USB Streaming" option in the camera menu (if I remember correctly, it's menu 2). This way you don't need to install any additional software on your computer. To simplify things even more you can assign the streaming option to one of the hardware buttons on the camera.
Ok I am using the USB function, I changed the settings on my phone to PC function, I'm currently on zoom and it does recognize the Imagine Edge logo in it after I downloaded the app and yet, the camera won't start. I have the USB plugged in and everything.
Any advise? Thank you!
What is the best time to upload on CZcams n youtube shorts 😭😭😭😭?
I wish you guess would do a video on obs. I cannot it to work on Mac.
I’m using the ZV-1. The Imaging Edge Webcam logo is remaining on the screen & my face isn’t coming up like yours did. I’ve set the webcam on zoom as the Sony Camera )Imaging Edge.
don't use that edge crap , just plug the camera in and on camera screen tap use a webcam
