Insert the HDMI cable into your camera and connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI to USB video capture device. Connect the video capture device to a USB port on your computer.

It is now time to setup the camera on the tripod and angle it towards you.

Make sure you choose the HDMI video capture device in your live streaming software settings and go live with your Canon camera.

Finally, for audio, the HDMI kits will allow you to use the built-in mic or external microphone attached to the camera.
