Ever since I updated to Monterey, my camera completely stopped working on my MacBook Pro 2016.
Nothing help: reset SMC, restarting, etc. All applications have access to camera.
Apple support, is there any way to fix?
I'm currently on Monterey 12.2.1
You are not talking to Apple support, this is a user forum.
Does the camera appear in System Information? Hold down option key and choose System Information from the Apple menu. Click Camera and post a screenshot.
What happens when you try to access the camera in Your Quicktime Player, by doing File->New Movie Recording? If you get some alert or error message please post a screenshot.
Coincident with Monterey ?
Doubt it was the software upgrade but more an underlining issue elevated and exposed with Monterey.
I'm handing in my MacBook Pro for repairs today. Once I hear what the problem is I'll share it here in the hopes it might shed some light on wether it's hardware failure or software update related.
Thank you very much for the updated info.
Time permitting - yes do keep us updated post the evaluation process by Apple.
Any updates about camera issues? I have the exact same issue now with MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021).
My 2017 did the same exact thing. They are claiming it is a hardware problem. ****** me off. Reminds me of them slowing down older phones to get more sales. It's crap.
