Hi there

I have the G7X Powershot Mark III and am having some real probs as I am using it to live stream via Zoom. The battery does not last much longer than an hour when fully charged. I have just ordered a bunch of the USB C to USB C cables and a PD charger but what I need to know is if this camera will charge when it is running as I really need this feature. If not can you advise a camera which can be charged while in use as I need to be able to run webinars for 4 hours too and would like to have good quality camera but battery a real issue. Thank you, Kate

Curious, how are you live-streaming to Zoom? PC, Mac, USB, WiFi?

Sounds better than my built-in webcam on my MacBook, hence the curiosity.

You need this btw...

It's OOS everywhere I've looked.

Maybe you can find one used on eBay, elsewhere? Or a compatible third party?

You have to leave the battery door open... They use em in BestBuy's and the like for floor models I believe.
