Is it possible?

How bad would it be on the camera?

it will not damage the camera but i do not suggest doing a live webchat with a t2i for like 8 hours

i would say if you care about your camera dont go more than 15 mins as these cameras heat up while in video mode anyway.

the way to do it is using the EOS utility with the camera plugged in and go into live view then you should see the feed on your computer. that is how i have been told people are doing it.

i have never done it before but that is a starting place thumb.gif
