Thanks for checking out the video! I have a few things to mention that I did not mention in the video that might help you out if you're having any issues getting your camera to work as a webcam. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

ZOOM
- Make sure that you have updated zoom to at least 5.1. If you don't, then Cam Twist will not appear in the video settings.

CAM TWIST
- If your image is looking low resolution go into the Cam Twist preferences and play around with the FPS and resolution.
- A good starting point is 30FPS and 1280 x 720. You might think 720 is low quality, but it looks incredible in comparison to a normal webcam.

YOUR SONY CAMERA
- Make sure that your camera is in Movie mode on the top dial.
- From what viewers have said, THIS METHOD does not seem to work with the a6000 at the moment. I do not personally own an a6000 so I cannot test this for myself.
- There are other ways to use the a6000 as a webcam, but they typically are a hassle to make work.
- If anyone has any helpful tips to get that specific camera to work with THIS METHOD please comment below :)

Hopefully this helps :)

Tried dozens of "use your Sony Camera as a webcam" videos. Yours is the only one that worked. Thanks.

This is the best tutorial to get lagless and smooth video input into your OBS. Other tutorials didn't work. This one did! Saved me $200 on Elgato! This video needs a million more views! More power to you, Zac! Great content!

4 years later and it still Good Job my friend!

[TheCentury]

That's EXACTLY what I was looking for! No fluff, straight up steps towards using Sony camera as a webcam without any capture card! Thank you!

[faithchildtv]

At first I was apprehensive cause of the length of the video, but this is actually the best tutorial I’ve ever seen. With links in the description and time stamps on the video. Thank you !

[ipaint.feelings]

I spent literally HOURS yesterday trying to get my new Sony ZV-1 to connect to the monitor because the sony imaging webcam software was not working!
YOU ARE AWESOME!! THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH! Im a new subscriber!

[beaviswealth]

Hey Zac, trying out this method.. What if I don't see CameraTwist as an option after clicking Syphon. It only shows Camera Live.

[omarsaragoza]

This was the most clear and idiot proof video I have EVER seen. Didn't have to use my brain for 1 second and it worked! You just got a new sub.

[BeWhyBY]

I'm curious about your camera mount. The stand you linked doesn't appear to be desk mountable? Is it just a tri pod behind your desk?

[adamferronato]

Thanks for the vid! I don't get options from the Syphon settings drop down..

[RJBaculo]

Dayum! How do you only have 345 subscribers??!!! This is gold! Your content and presentation is gold! You got a sub from me! 👍

[akmaesther]

hello why I don't have in usb setting pc remote? only auto mtp and mass storage? I don't know what to do

[marknosrati]

If this tutorial doesn't earn this man a like and a sub I don't know what it's going to take to make you happy. Thanks Zac!

[srgnt]

I have Mac OS 11 and Sony apps are currently not supported. This workaround worked flawlessly. Thanks!

[NaamWynn]

Great video man! Exactly what I needed. Top notch quality by the way!

[GregDawson]

This works like a charm! I just spent a week watching tutorials on how to connect my DSLR and the were always pointing back to "expensive" video capture cards. I cannot believe this is free. And it works with my old Canon T2i, too!

[everlastmedia]

How can you only have 149 Keep going Brother!!! Great video!!!

[Matdemarco]

I'm calling it now, you're going to explode on youtube. You deserve it!

[MikeDewey]
