After A LOT of searching and tinkering with things I have finally fixed this issue on my MacBook. Turned out it wasn’t caused by Apple but kaspersky in my case, the privacy settings were completely blocking the camera, as soon as I unchecked the selection in Kaspersky the camera popped straight back on! 😤

I am having the same issue. No green light. It started with face time but zoom was working. Now zoom isn't finding the camera either. I checked the system report and it says "No video capture devices were found" No trauma or damage to my computer (although plenty of trauma and damage to me if I cant use zoom or FT in 2020!)

running Catalina 10.15.6 2017 macbook pro.

it is really disappointed. I just bought this MB last year... and I don’t want to pay for something that was not my fault.

😭😭😭 especially during this pandemic which impact to economic condition.


Apple... please take this issue seriously.

I really need my MB back because during this pandemic in Indonesia, I have to work from home.

Now, the number of confirmed covid 19 case in Indonesia is increasing. Thus, it will extend the WFH period.


I really hope apple can solved this problem immediately...
