#Skype turn on camera mac software#

Sorry for not having said that explicitly. Regarding what you told me, Firefox does let the user choose the camera, but the built-in one is not available anymore after the plugin installation:

the first report giving two examples that don't really make sense because nobody got Safari to work, Firefox seems to have this setting.

#Skype turn on camera mac software#

Sorry for the late reply, I was quite busy this week.Р”В®very software should have a way of setting a different camera. Hi later the fact I didn't get any replies In case the problem resolves itself after a while (honestly though I don't believe it does) it would be nice if you reported back.Р”Вid that work? Also, did OBS see the FaceTime camera before? Or how exactly did you get your picture into OBS in the past?Р”В«ut unfortunately since I can't reproduce this (on macOS 11.0.1), I'm personally in the dark, so these questions are just wild guesses. Unfortunately, rebooting seems to not always fix stuff with DAL, it behaves very weirdly and sometimes problems are just magically gone after a while (Though I'm mostly referring to #160 here). It's true it might not be the plugin creating issues, but right now it looks pretty conclusively to me like something in the plugin has interfered with recognition of with the built-in camera. I have restarted my computer, tried clearing the SMC, and still nothing. To check this, go to Finder -> Go to -> Go to folder -> Enter /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL and look for a ugin I'd guess that if they are still loaded, they should be visible there, from my experience that tool is the most forgiving when it comes to what is shown.Р”Р„lso while we're at it, could you check if the plugin was completely removed? That would give some information at wether it also was caused by the DAL plugin.Р”В¬ould you try checking if the cameras (Virtualcam as well as FaceTime Camera) maybe appear in Cameo? You say you used it from when it was released, did it also cause the problem back then? Also, how far into the past would that be? That makes me believe that it has something to do with the plugin.

Your report on the other hand is more detailed, I can understand what you did, and it contains attempts at fixing the problem. I had to assume that this probably wasn't caused by this plugin. later the fact I didn't get any replies.the second report being 3 lines, without any examples but mentioning audio which doesn't make much sense since this isn't a HAL-Driver AND.the first report giving two examples that don't really make sense because nobody got Safari to work, Firefox seems to have this setting and 'and others' isn't very precise AND.this was something nobody else has reported before AND.Many reports here aren't that well researched or don't explain the problem, and given that Zoom shows an empty camera select dropdown:Р”Р‡acetime also stopped recognizing the built-in certainly not an issue that's limited to Firefox as implies, and I don't entirely understand the haste in dismissing these reports. I am going to attempt restoring the plugin to see if I at least get my camera back, but I would very much like to safely remove it from my computer at this point in time.

However once I uninstalled the plugin, my camera has basically become bricked. My camera worked with the OBS Virtual Camera so I know the camera itself is not broken. If there's more we can do to provide data to help debug the issue, I'm certainly happy to see what else I can provide. It's certainly not an issue that's limited to Firefox as implies, and I don't entirely understand the haste in dismissing these reports. Now NO camera can be selected in any of these apps. I then uninstalled the Virtual Camera per the instructions in the Readme as I don't really need it anymore. (Uninstall with caution started noticing that any app that required use of my camera (Firefox, Zoom, Skype, Facetime) would sometimes only give me the option of selecting the OBS Virtual camera. I the further found that uninstalling this made the issue much worse.

This plugin was very helpful to me when it was first released and I appreciate the hard work that went into it, but I was also experiencing this problem.
