Nikon webcam utility for mirrorless and DSLR cameras is now official

[10:00 Sat,7.November 2020   by Thomas Richter]    

It was available as a beta for some time now, now Nikon's Webcam Utility for Mac and Windows is official. The tool allows some Nikon cameras to be used as a webcam for video conferencing or live streaming. This is Nikon's response to the growing demand for webcams due to the increased use in the home office and for virtual meetings.

The Webcam Utility works with Nikon's Z-series cameras and some DSLRs, the Nikon Z 7, Z 6, Z 5, Z 50, D6, D850, D780, D500, D7500 and D5600. For now, the free tool will only be available for Windows 10, but a Mac version will follow soon. Also future mirrorless cameras and digital SLR cameras from Nikon will be able to use it as a webcam.



The corresponding Nikon camera is connected to the computer via USB and can then be selected as a webcam using the Webcam Utility in an appropriate program such as Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams.
