OP is using a camera as a webcam that's not sold as a webcam. That's fine, I do the same with mine, but it's also fine of the manufacturer to allow for that by simply providing A/V interfaces instead of trying to account for every use case.

Canon advertises their cameras as webcams.

No, they don't. They advertise that the camera can "turn into" a webcam with the right software or through HDMI out.

  That’s basically the same though, isn’t it?

  That's what the marketers wanted us to think, sure.
  It's like me trying to sell you a car that can "turn into" a boat with the right attachments. Notice I didn't say how much the attachments cost.

  You're simply mistaken.

  The marketing material for OP's model:
  > Use the EOS Utility Webcam Beta Software (Mac and Windows) to turn your Canon camera into a high-quality webcam, or do the same using a clean HDMI output.
