Canon to Slack live

Tether your Canon to your phone over USB or Wi-Fi and deliver every shot straight to Slack the instant you press the shutter — no laptop, no SD-card import. Selects appear in the editor's channel as you shoot.

How to live-upload Canon photos to Slack

Connect your Canon to your phone and every shot lands in Slack live as you shoot. Here's the full setup, start to finish:

  1. 1

    Connect your Canon

    Connect over USB with the camera set to PC/tether mode for the most reliable, fastest link. Or go wireless over the camera's Wi-Fi (EOS bodies broadcast their own network) or a shared network. On a first wireless connection, approve the link on the camera body when prompted.

  2. 2

    Connect Slack

    Connects via Slack OAuth — workspace scope only. Pick where photos should land — pick a channel per session. Captions and metadata travel with every frame for instant approval.

  3. 3

    Shoot as normal

    Every frame your Canon captures is detected and downloaded at full resolution while you keep shooting — JPEG, or RAW on Pro.

  4. 4

    Photos deliver to Slack

    Each photo uploads from your phone once and lands in Slack live, seconds after the shutter — and fans out to any other destinations on the session too (Pro).
