Mine arrived today. Works fine on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015). Connect the HDMI cable AND the USB one that comes in the box. You'll need to select mirroring option in settings for the display, then the Dell P2418HZm in settings/Sound for (input and output). Works fine, shame you can't zoom in on the webcam, but it all works well.

yes it does and it comes with a cable that has a usb on one side (the computer side) and another type of smaller head (it called it a USB upstream cable) I tried using that one first and the monitor didn't work, then I added it in addition to the HDMI, and it didn't connect with the camera. The only Dell drivers for the camera are for PCs, and the Dell people couldn't help me. Should I try a cable with USB on both ends?
I don't think an HDMI connection will work with the camera. Does the monitor have a USB port?

If Dell doesn't supply a driver for the camera, you won't get it to work on the Mac. It's their product, which means it's up to them to provide the driver.

Oh, and select the Dell Webcam in the 'settings' of Webex (is what I'm using).
