PhotoBooth won't take a video

In PhotoBooth, I cannot take videos. The application will count down from 3, and then not record.


No problems taking pictures on the single or 4x setting.

MacBook Air 13″, 11.5

Hi there Wilsif,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.


We understand that you’re unable to use your camera in Photo Booth. Be sure your Mac is running the latest software version and have restarted. Check to see if this behavior occurs in FaceTime. Work through additional guidance shown in If your built-in camera isn’t working on your Mac.



Regards.
