  • I Always wanted to use my DSLR as webcam to improve the quality of videos during y tutorials. Finally found a solution to use my Nikon D3300 for live stream or recording with obs studio.
    You will need the following:
    DSLR Camera
    USB to connect Camera to computer
    Windows OS
    OBS Studio
    Digicamcontrol Software
    Program: digicamcontrol.com/
    Check if it supports a live view of your camera: digicamcontrol.com/cameras
    Please let me know in the comments if you have any questions, concerns, suggestions. Geek Yourself!!!

    I've been looking everywhere to make my D3200 work as a webcam but everyone says it's not possible. This worked perfectly! It was dark in the beginning but I checked Exposure Comp. in the Control tab and it was set to -2. Changed to 0 and now it's perfect! Thank you so so much.
