Will this camera connect to PC and serve as a webcam as well? Don't see such a connection under 'connectivity'. null

Question

It does not. There are 3rd party "tricks" for getting it to work as a webcam but it is clunky and requires you to download software onto your PC from less reputable sources. The "livestream" feature works through social media platforms and actually has about a full minute of delay. I wanted this camera for teaching class live but it did not work.

It's possible, but you would need to use the Media Mod and a separate capture device to feed the signal into your computer.

The people above have covered your options for connecting this as a webcam, but I'd agree---you are far better off buying a quality webcam if that is your primary intent for usage. It is possible to use as a webcam, but very hacky and clunky.
