You should have the 2016 driver, not the 2006 driver. You should have a .exe file in the Apple Drivers folder on the USB.

This requires a bit of work. You should first create a Windows System Restore point.

You can uninstall the 2006 driver, delete the device, remove the 2006 driver from the DrvStore using pnputil.exe, and then manually install the 2016 driver. If you reboot in the middle, the 2006 driver will come back. The current driver is a generic USB camera driver.

• Create a Windows System Restore point.
• In Windows Device Manager, right-click on the FaceTime Camera, click Uninstall and Delete the device.
• Run pnputil.exe and remove the Microsoft driver from DrvStore
• Do not Reboot
• Install the FaceTime driver from the BC package manually and verify in Windows Device Manager
• Disable any Windows updates to the FaceTime Camera driver using https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2500967/how-to-stop-windows-7-automatically-installing-drivers . You will need the PID/VID of the Camera. This is valid for W8.1/W10.
• Test and verify
• Reboot, and test and verify

The drivers you have issues with are all related to USB. BC drivers would be installed, if the driver’s INF file had a match for the PID/VID in the package. Any drivers that are not provided by Apple are supposed to come from Windows - over the internet or as part of the Windows Installer.

Also, based on the testing so far, your Camera issue is related to third-party software interaction with the Camera, because the Microsoft Camera application works properly.

You may want to ask the owners of the third-party apps to check if their clients may have an issue.

Did you remove the driver from DrvStore using pnputil.exe?

The driver in the BC drivers package has a different PID/VID than your camera.

Does FaceTime behave as expected on the macOS side?

If you have the BC Drivers USB, can you post a listing of drivers under the Apple folder? We need to extract files from the FaceTime Camera drivers (using 7zip or similar) and check the .inf file.

If you bring up the Microsoft Camera App, you should see similar settings to what I have posted. Your settings look correct. It does support 16:9 @30fps. My 2014 iMac is older and 720p@30fps. Your camera should automatically support 16:9. You may be running into problems for other apps.

Check with Camera App. The window aspect is 16:9 when the Camera app is running.

There is a version of OBS Studio for Mac as listed on https://obsproject.com. As a test, use the macOS version, and test if you get the correct behavior. If you do, then the issue lies in the configuration or interfaces used by OBS Studio on Windows.

Does Apple Software Update on the Windows side provide any newer driver for the Camera?

For the 2006 driver, can you post the PID/VID that the driver supports, as well as the PID/VID supported by the 2016 driver?

From the macOS side, can you post the the value you see in About This Mac -> System Report -> Camera? It will be similar to UVC Camera VendorID_1452 ProductID_34065 .

This is from my 2014 iMac.

Can you post the the value you see in About This Mac -> System Report -> Camera? It will be similar to UVC Camera VendorID_1452 ProductID_34065 .

The .inf file is for a very different camera. Your VID 0x05ac belongs to Apple. The Windows driver is the generic UVC driver.

I have already done it many times and it does not help, because the camera driver is not updated there.

We are downloading the driver package, but not installing it. We need to see what is the version provided in Bootcamp.xml. The 2006 driver is a Microsoft driver.
