Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Greetings!
I've had this problem for a while now.
My camera stopped working. I've tried every app possible. What happens is that when I open, let' say, Photo booth, the screen is black, the green LED is blinking but nothing happens.
My MBP did not fall, was not damaged, nothing like that.
Is there anything that can be done?
Thanks in advance.
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
Hello,
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.

Yikes... I know how you feel, my Car decided to have no electricity & cannot have anybody look at it unless I can 1st immerse it in Alcohol!
Might try to find a local independent AASP...
No :( I gave up... I wanted to bring my laptop to the apple store in my hometown, but due to the lockdown I cannot do it right now. It sucks cause it impairs my work :( I did everything that you posted above (I hope I did it well, cause nothing appeared afterwards or anything) and still I have the same problem. I was even thinking about restoring my MBP to factory settings, but I'm afraid that it won't work and only wipe out my HD :(
I am having this same issue. I teach and having my screen be green on their end is making it impossible. I cannot even present my screen to them. Their image on my end is also black.
I have two littles of my own that have to watch a few YouTube videos for their own work and the videos are coming up black. I did notice that when I restart my computer it is okay for a short period but eventually goes back. Your computer is a desktop and has stayed in one location since coming out of the box. If you find a solution please let me know!

It seems to be a hardware failure on the logic board. I had to send the computer for repair (mine was under warranty) and now it is working great. I had thought it was a software issue, but that seems not to be the case.
Thanks for your response.
I did as you suggested, the same thing happened with the camera and the light :(
Any luck yet?
My macbook is new... but no camera function works... only green blinking light'
seems like some software catch
Have seem several of these accounts lately, can't tell if it's the new hardware or new OS . :(
Thanks for the report. :)
Camera LED blinking green but doesn't work.
