In the Canon EOS Utility SW from the EOS M there is no way to set the camera as a Webcam. Or at least I haven been able to find how to do it. Thank you for your help.

There should be an option for live video monitoring. This may or may not do what you need.

No, there is no option for video monitoring in the EOS Utility.

I will go buy a $70 webcam to do this.
