Has anyone found a workaround to allow FaceTime to recognize a Nikon camera for video conferencing? My Nikon D850 works great with Zoom; the camera is easily recognized. However, there is no option in the FaceTime to recognize the Nikon webcam utility. Is this something Nikon needs to address or is it Apple?
