Macbook not detecting the camera after macOS Big Sur 11.1 update

Hi,

My MacBook Pro (MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016) is not detecting the front facing camera after updating to macOS Big Sur 11.1.

When I use FaceTime and Photobooth, the light next to the camera turns green, but the laptop doesn't seem to be detecting the camera, as I cannot see my face.

Is anyone aware of this issue? And is there any fix or workaround for this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

Camera not available for my macbook pro 2013 Hi there, I need help with regards to my macbook pro 2013 camera. It's not turning on when I open facetime, photobooth, zoom etc. It says, "facetime has not received any video from the connected camera...." in other apps it says, "camera not available." Here's what I did: Reset SMC, NVRAM or PRAM Use another account Clean install - I performed clean install from Catalina downgrade to High Sierra, then going back to Catalina nothing happened. I bought an external webcam - it did work once after a few tries. Now, I have no more clues what to do. A bit frustrated because I need the camera for my online teaching. I hope there's someone out there who can help me. Thank you.

macOS big Sur camera not available Hi All. I dont know if anyone else is having this problem, but i noticed today that after updating to macOS Big Sur, my macbook pro is no longer recognizing my in built camera. I noticed it first in Facetime, and then also checked under Hardware and it is no longer recognizing the inbuilt camera.

FaceTime camera not working after Big Sur update. Having just received a new MacBook Air and installed the latest Big Sur software I have found that the camera is working intermittently and often showing a blacked out window. I have checked all settings I can think of and held 2 support calls with Apple, who have failed to resolve. I have just reinstalled the Os to find the problem remains. Has anyone resolved this, Apple seem blind to it?
