Webcam problem

I have a 2016 MacBook Air. I want to use Zoom application and external cam (Iriun app + phone camera). Last week I didn't have a problem with it but now it is not working. I have an iMac installed the Iriun and it's working... I don't know what happened.

I have already done:

  • killallVSD
  • reinstall OS
  • and tried lots of other things

But, OBS and Quick Time can use the Iriun cam. I do not understand...

Could you help me please? Do you have any idea?


MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

I've had the same issue, it seems it has something to do with the code signing of the zoom app. I found a solution (workaround) that worked for me. In Terminal:


$ codesign --remove-signature /Applications/zoom.us.app


I found that on this webpage:

Hopefully it works for you too

For Zoom you can "solve" it with the hint in the message just before yours ;-). That may also work for the others, I'm not sure. For me Teams just works. And for Skype for Business I was also able to get it to work through the codesign command.


When Zoom (or another app) updates itself, you have to do it again, which is a bit annoying.


I'm not sure if there's another way to get this to work, maybe Iriun needs to do something on their driver?
