How To Live Stream Like a Pro With The PowerShot G7 X Mark III
Boasting powerful 20MP CMOS sensors and uncropped 30fps 4K and 120fps 1080p video recordings, the compact but powerful Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III is the only tool you’ll need (and maybe a ring light) to take your live streams to the next level.
Whether you’re a seasoned YouTuber looking to up your live stream game or a working professional who just can’t rely on poor quality web cameras anymore, you’ll be glad to know that live streaming is a breeze with the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III. In fact, this nifty camera has been called a “blogger’s dream” by top photography lifestyle review sites, and here’s why.
Streaming made convenient
Its powerful features aside, you’ll be glad to know that the camera allows you to live stream directly to your YouTube channel simply by connecting to your Wi-Fi network and using the pre-installed YouTube streaming application. Do note that you’ll only be able to do a direct live stream if your YouTube account has more than 1,000 subscribers. If you have a smaller audience, you’ll want to use the EOS Webcam Utility. This basically acts as a driver and replaces your webcam with your PowerShot G7 X Mark III (or any other compatible Canon camera) and allows you to connect to other web conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Skype, Facebook Live, Microsoft Teams, Slack, and more.
Pre-set up checklist
Before you stream, you'll need to make sure you have these 5 items ready:
