Desperately trying to remove CamTwist

I've read every post I could find, and none of the solutions help me. They all seem to be from a few years ago, and maybe that's why those solutions don't work anymore; among others, the sudo recommendation from here is not working anymore.


I've installed CamTwist long time ago and now that I've deleted it, I was expecting to only have the built-in camera available for selection. But CamTwist is still there and it doesn't allow me to change to the built-in camera in any browser. I'm desperate.


Does anyone have any ideas how I can solve this? I'm on macOS Big Sur.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.6

For your third party application I would ask them....


From the readme file—


CamTwist

Easy Install

The easiest way to install CamTwist is to double click the installer package. The installer package will put CamTwist.plugin in /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL and the CamTwist application folder in /Applications.


Manual Install

The only installation requirement is the CoreMedia plugin. The plugin can be placed in /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL or in ~/Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL. The CamTwist application folder can be installed anywhere.
