Imaging Edge Webcam
Sony released Imaging Edge Webcam, a free utility that allowed compatible Sony digital cameras to operate as USB webcams.
Supported models at launch included the α9 II, α9, α7R IV, α7R III, α7R II, α7S II, α7S, α7 III, α7 II, α6600, α6400, α6100, RX100 VII, RX100 VI, RX0 II, RX0 and α7S III.
The initial release required 64-bit Windows 10 and did not yet support macOS. This is historical compatibility information; users should check current operating-system and camera support and test resolution, latency, power and overheating.
Sony published the utility on its Imaging Edge Webcam page.
