"Can i use canon powershot sx400is as a webcam?"

Hi Bobby,

Thanks for asking about using your Canon Powershot as a webcam. This is a question I get asked frequently, whether the Canon Powershot cameras can be used as webcams.

The Canon 400SX IS is not listed as compatible to work with the Canon Webcam software on the Canon website.

Here is where the webcam compatible Canon cameras have been discussed: Canon Cameras As Webcams.

Unfortunately the SX400 IS is a budget camera released in 2014 with somewhat limited capabilities.

Good Luck,
Bruce
