I am trying to give apps like Skype and zoom access to my microphone and camera but no apps are showing up in the list System Preferences>Security & Privacy> Privacy.
MacBook Pro 13", OS X 10.10
My understanding is that Apps appear on the lists when they request access to the cam or microphone. I'm trying to give VLC access to the microphone, but it does not appear on the list. It does have camera access. When I try to record a video on VLC, I get an error message that no microphone is available. So, it is apparently requesting access, but it is not on the list. There is no plus sign or any other visible way to add an app to the list. Is this a bug?
what do I do if I can not add an item?
what if the app never requested access when I opened it?
Thank you so much, Lavni ! It worked !
The exact same is happening to me , I can’t give my apps like snapchat, the acces to use camera , so I can’t use them.
I found an extra setting in my virus protection application which you have to allow use of the camera and this resolved my problem and I can now use the camera for apps such as zoom.
I have an iPhone 8 and apps are not showing up in settings/privacy/microphone. I want to be able to use zoom on this phone, but no one can hear me.
I’ve done this and it still hasn’t fixed the issue. Can someone from Apple please see all of us with this problem???
But how did you “give proper access” - there’s no “+” button and the Zoom app simply keeps saying “give permission in settings.”
It was in safe mode that the + button showed up and let me give access to Zoom.
I did not have the screen time on either, but I tried the method suggested by Jgancos and it works now.
Apps don't show up in camera and microphone privacy settings in MacBook what should I do ?
Thanks for this tip! This was exactly the issue for me!
