[SOLVED] How to make an old compact camera/point-and-shoot to be used as a webcam?

[Lil’bertz]

I am planning to use our old Sony camera (Sony DSC-WX150) to used as a webcam for my online class because webcams in my local stores are always out of stock, even those cheap asf A4tech 720p webcams. I found out that the camera has HDMI at the side so it thought I could use it as a webcam. How can I do it?
