I have bought a Nikon D3500 (refurbished) this past week. I want to use it as a webcam for video conferences. I discovered your website.
In a word, help.
I am an advanced beginner. I did not know that the USB connection had resolution issues, and want to get started with HDMI connections.

I am late to the game, but go to Amazon and search for “Cam Nova”. You want to get the capture card that records 1080P @ 60 FPS.
The card is like 20 bucks. And it even comes with a mini HDMI to HDMI cable. You’ll need that to connect to your PC.
The “Cam Nova” will appear as a web cam to your apps.
How do I remove the info display on the screen?
Press the INFO button to cycle through the screens with different levels of information on them. There are some minor differences in whether all info can totally be removed depending on whether you’re looking at the back screen or have the D3500 connected via HDMI to a display.
