MS Teams crashes when EOS Webcam Utility is used for Video

Hi, 

I am using Microsoft Teams for my school. I am using EOS Webcam Utility (NOT Beta) with my Canon EOS 80D. It was working perfectly with video calls for school up until about two weeks ago. Now, whenever I turn on my camera in a video call (and the video setting is EOS Webcam), my Teams crashes and I get an error saying, "There was a glitch. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please sign in again." 

In my school, there is an expectation that my camera is on, and my computer's webcam is unusable, so I really need this fixed, and quickly.

Thank you so much for any help you can provide. 

Kane

    That's where I downloaded the beta version today I believe, Softpedia. Hopefully Microsoft and/or Canon will correct this issue.

    I've been using the beta since it came out and it's been pretty flawless with everything I've used - several Web-based teleconference sites (Google Meet, Roll20, Spelltable), Teams, Zoom, WebEx, OBS, XSplit.... tons of stuff!! All except Discord, which is not a big deal to just use the laptop's camera with. So I'm fine with the beta for now - but still I'd like to be on the latest and greatest.

    OK - before I found my own copy I downloaded it from softpedia - I have checked the properties of both files and they seem to be identical - of course I cannot take any responsibility :-)

    I must of deleted it. I had a ton of very large (iso) files I cleaned-up recently and probably deleted it then.

    Edit: I'll keep a copy of 0.9 and 1.1 in a safe place, maybe i'll upgrade/downgrade as needed for each video app - that sounds fun.

    Michael - check your download folder - the 0.9 zip file may still be there

    I had to search online for a site that provided a mirror of the beta driver as I no longer had the installer. (risky, but it seems OK) This fixed the issue for me in Teams, thanks BigPapaSmurf.

    I suspect this just broke Discord, which is why I upgraded to 1.1. Not that I use it that often for video, but this doesn't seem like a long term fix. The strange thing is that Teams seemed to work fine with 1.1 all day yesterday.
