Question

Can a cannon powershot a560 be used as a web cam?

Answer 1

No, it is not designed to send low quality image streams to your computer and then to the Internet.

It has auto-shutoff to save battery power and if you could keep it up and running, it would drain the batteries in a very short time.

For under $25 you can buy a real webcam you can leave on all the time if you want.
