Olympus OM-D Webcam Beta

Use your OM-D camera as a webcam for streaming.

Whether you’re connecting with loved ones or collaborating with colleagues from home, video streaming is now more important than ever. We’re excited to introduce Olympus’ OM-D Webcam Beta software! This free beta software allows you to use select OM-D cameras in conjunction with video conferencing applications.

OM-D Webcam Beta is compatible with the following camera models:

  • E-M1X
  • E-M1, E-M1 Mark II, E-M1 Mark III
  • E-M5 Mark II

Follow These Step-by-Step Instructions to Get Started


1. Installation:

2. Usage:

  • Connect your OM-D and PC using the official USB-C tether cable provided with the original box.
  • Turn on the camera.
  • Select Tethered USB Mode   on the monitor.
  • Open your web conferencing application.
  • Go to your video preferences in the application and select ‘OM-D Webcam Beta.’

Please note: at this time, OM-D Webcam Beta software is compatible with Windows PCs only.

OM-D Webcam Beta software does not output sound from the camera. However, all Olympus LS-P recorders – like the LS-P4 – can be used as USB microphones for video streaming.

  • Press the `OK button.
  • Press the + or – button to select [USB Class].
