How do I live stream with canon camcorder?

[bingaling]

I have a Canon Vixia HF R400 camcorder that I use to film videos for youtube. I would like to use this to do live youtube streaming. What do I need to stream with my laptop and this camera?

You may need to use the HDMI cable and a video capture device. You might be able to use the optional STV-250N Stero Video Cable and connect it to a video capture device but I don't think the quality will be near as good as using the HDMI cable. However using the optional cable and a compatible capture device would be less expensive than the HDMI option.
