Camera not working on Chrome Google Meet

I am having the exact same problem. This started on 1/26/21. I am a teacher on an IMAC running on High Sierra. Suddenly my kids cannot see me but I see everything perfectly fine including myself. I am using Google Meet. I have gone to Chrome, Settings, Privacy, Site Settings and camera is on "ask before accessing". I have checked every "allowed" site and camera is on allow. I have restarted the computer and I have emptied my cache. I am in need of help as soon as possible. My apple system preferences has a Privacy but no place that I can find "camera".

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I actually feel better that it's not just me!

Thank you!

Yes mine started yesterday too. I still haven’t fixed it I’ve tried everything that everyone suggested. Same thing on my end my kids can’t see me but I see everything fine. I don’t know what I’m gonna do tomorrow.

I'm on OS High Sierra 10.13.6 on MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011), and Chrome doesn't allow the camera to present my face to others in GoogleMeets, though it "works" for me. Help! Same issue, this started for me yesterday, 1/27/21.

The camera works on Safari and Firefox, it is only on Chrome that the camera doesn't work in Google Meets.

I turned hardware acceleration on and off and nothing changed; camera still disabled for others though it's "working" in my view.

That solution solves for the camera, but it's a compounding issue once turned back off. With hardware acceleration on, the chrome browsing experience gets extremely glitchy with screen graphics turning to streaking blue/white/green lines making given websites unreadable. Anyone have a fix here?

Thank you! Yes, the updated Chrome is the problem. The older version works so beautifully! Thank you for the tip on canceling future updates, too - unless they fix this. Not sure why it's bugged out so fully for OS High Sierra. If another update actually works for the webcam, that would be ideal!

I am having the EXACT same problem. I teach first grade virtually and need help ASAP. Everything was working fine yesterday. I have tried everything. HELP!

Im literally having the same problem. I don’t know what’s going on or how to fix this.

I have been having the same issues since 1/25/2021. I've tried everything!! My camera only works in Safari but not chrome.

I appreciate any suggestions but unfortunately this did not work for me. I switched it on relaunched...I switched it off then relaunched with no luck. How, I wish it had.

Thank you so much!!! This doesn't make any sense for me but it helped! :D :D

This worked for me too!!

I am having exactly the same issue. I am so frustrated bc the camera works with all other applications.

Same exact issue here - only just realised it works in Safari so at least that is a work around. Worked in Chrome until 2 days ago. Not ideal for home schooling!!

Toggling doesn’t work for me in chrome hard ware settings.

10.11.6

Meet through Firefox does work with both pictures.
