Canon USA released software in April to reduce the webcam shortage. After the work from home and the lockdown situation started, the delivery options also got halted for a while. Besides, the production of new products was impossible because of the shut down happened in every industrial factory. Moreover, at that time the demand for the new software by Canon increased.
However, there are procedures to convert any of the cameras you own into a webcam. But it requires additional hardware. Besides, in some cases, it also requires third-party software to make it happen. But if you are a Canon user, you can use this feature with its own EOS Webcam Utility Beta. It will be easy to use, free, and a plug-and-play thing for making your Canon camera into a webcam.
