Black Squiggly Line on Camera Screen

All of the sudden a black squiggly line has appeared on my camera screen. It comes up every time I use the camera on my MacBook Air. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

MacBook Air 11″, macOS 10.15

Hello Annswilliams,


It sounds like you are seeing a black mark every time you attempt to use your camera. We understand how much of an inconvience this is and we're here to help.


First let's clean your camera lens using the steps outlined here: How to clean your Apple products


Once you clean the lens, test to see if the issue persists.


If the issue persists can you provide a few more details? Do you notice this issue regardless of which app is using your camera? Is it always in the same spot? Also, when did you first notice this?


Cheers!
