Camera not working on facetime

My webcam does work on other applications but doesn't seem to on facetime. It just shows this icon spinning?!

MacBook Pro 15", 10.13

Hi tomtrick6,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities for help today. It sounds like your Mac built-in camera isn't working in FaceTime. I have an article that may be able to help: If FaceTime isn't working on your Mac. Have a look at the section "If your camera or microphone doesn’t work".


If it is still not working, I'd suggest attempting to isolate the issue to your user account or system-wide by testing in a new user account: How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac.


Let me know how that goes.


Have a fantastic day!
