I have an old EOS 600D/T3i laying around that I want to use as my facecam. After doing some googling I found the EOS Webcam Utility that was literally made for using a Canon DSLR as a webcam, but it seems they've since phased out the original free software in exchange for EOS Webcam Utility Pro, which is paid and also does not seem to list the 600D as a supported camera.

So my question is, is there any way to still use the 600D as a webcam? When I connect it via USB I can tell it's registering. It reacts whenever I open or close the Webcam Utility software, but it's failing to add it as a source every time, and I get nothing other than a black screen in the preview when selecting the camera, which also gets listed btw.

There is also the issue of old DSLRs not giving a clean HDMI output I've heard, so I'm curious if anyone has gotten it to work with this specific model, or similar ones.
