T1i as a Streaming webcam?

Howdy,

So I'm looking for a way that I can use something to stream a live presentation we are hosting.  I'm wondering if I can plug my T1i into my computer and use some software to turn it into a webcam that I can stream via Hangouts or uStream or some other streaming type system.

I'm also wondering if this would harm the camera at all and if I'd be better off using an HD webcam instead for any reason.  Only one I have access to is a Microsoft HD-3000 but it obviously can't zoom and things like that.

Thanks.

Canon EOS 500D (EOS Rebel T1i / EOS Kiss X3)
