    Hello,

    I'm using EOS 250D Cannon camera for live streaming. I'm using camera HDMI output and capturing with Elgate capture card on the computer. I have encountered few problems. After a while if not refocused I see the notification "Press <> button to prepare for movie shooting" that interrupts both the video and the audio capture.
    The problem shown in my latest stream video:

    How can I disable this notification?

    Secondly if I use HDMI output on my camera I can't see what is being captured neither on viewfinder nor on LCD screen. Is there a way to see both: through the HDMI output AND on the LCD screen on my camera?

    The third problem, if I use autofocus I see rectangle whenever the face being recognized (as shown in this video:

    Lastly is there a way to get rid of all the notifications in live view? I got "Low battery" notification here in my video:

    I guess EOS 250D is not suited for live streaming but maybe there are some workarounds?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Options like that would fall under custom functions, but I don't expect a canon rebel body to have much in the way of custom video option.
    I don't have much input on the video side but my experience is that those LCDs will take the place of the one on the back, using live view will kill the battery, maybe you can figure out a power supply option. Keep in mind the feature set of a digital rebel was not intended to be a webcam or streaming video, you are running the image sensor really hot streaming for a few hours.
