Hey there William Kussmaul,

To get started, check out the steps listed in the following resource that may be able to help: If your built-in camera isn’t working on your Mac - Apple Support

These steps will include what to look for in your Screen Time settings as well as ensuring the app you're wanting to use has permission to use your built-in camera.

Keep us updated on the results.

Have a great day!

William Kussmaul,

Thanks for providing those additional details. Going forward, if you're able to use the camera as expected in other apps and are only having issues with this particular app, give the steps listed in this following resource a try: If an app on your Mac stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support

While we understand you're not having issues with the app closing unexpectedly or not opening, the steps here can help with troubleshooting other issues you may be experiencing as well.

If you continue to have issues with the app not detecting your camera after going through the steps above, then we'd recommend reaching out to app developers who may be able to provide some additional information and troubleshooting steps.

We hope that's able to help.
