Camera not working

I have purchased a reconditioned Macbook (circa 2014) and the built in camera is not working. Any advice on re-installing would be appreciated?


Thanks

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

Hi there,


This is a very common issue. Just perform a soft shutdown of the MacBook, and that will most likely fix your camera not working.

To do this:

  1. Select the Apple logo in the top left corner of your screen
  2. Select "restart"

-------

If this does not solve the issue, take a look at this article.

If none of my suggestions work, contact Apple Support (1-800-APL-CARE) or visit an Apple Authorized Repair Store.



Hope this helps,

Dan
