samsung m8 webcam

NO NEED TO BUY AN ADAPTER. Nothing was working for my M8 and Studio setup until I tried this from another post:

“In the M8 setting (use the remote control from the monitor, to navigate), go to External Device Manager -> USB source setup -> change it to USB-C. This seems to allow the Mini to detect the M8 and the camera can be used.”

Had same issue.

you need to disconnect the hdmi-cable and just use the usb-c cable.

if you have both cables connected, it messes up and the webcam doesn't show up on OS X.

I had the same issue connecting my MacBook Air to the Samsung M8 monitor until I connected it using the USB-C cable and following the instructions from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWNSJd8bEDo - even though it's for an M7 monitor it still worked for me and the Samsung camera works too. Hope this helps.

In the M8 monitor go to setting and pick usb-c, use a usbc-usbc to your mac. Restart your mac.

worked for me. But anytime i moved the monitor up or down i would lose the signal plus the colors were off, i returned the m8 and got a dell, best decision ever, samsung support was the most painful experience.

You need a suitable USB-C cable that is rated for DisplayPort. One like this (that I use with my Mini/M8 combo). https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08ZXH6RJ3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bet I know your problem. I forgot to plug the adapter into the camera that makes the physical connection to the 4 port pad on the back. Find this - plug it in.

A restart made everything work. Thanks

Its written in one of the replies : In the M8 monitor go to setting and pick usb-c, use a usbc-usbc to your mac. Restart your mac. Then it should work

Does it show in About This Mac>Overview>System Report>hardware>Camera and/or Thunderbolt?

Are you using a Thunderbolt cable (not USB C cable)?

Are you connecting it directly to one of the Studio's back Thunderbolt ports?

Mine didn't work on my 2010 Mac Pro until I unplugged my USB-C from the port next to the power cord and connected it to the USB-C next to the HDMI port. Facing the back panel that would be on the left. I also have had to change HDMI ports on my video card to stop the screen from blinking on and off twice already. I think it gets confused trying to auto detect.

They can connect the webcam any way they want inside the display unit itself.

But to get the data into your Mac, the camera still has to appear on a standard Mac Bus somewhere. AND you have to ALLOW it to be used by each software you want to use it -- whether in Safari preferences on a web-site by web-site basis, or in

system preferences > Security & privacy > Privacy > Camera ...

,,, and the authorize each software package to use the camera data.

I read that the SjatFit camera connected via plugin to the monitor and connects to other devices via wifi. The M8 connects via wifi to your wifi network.

have you connected the M8 to your wifi network?

Jere is the manual.

I find the manual hard to use.

is there a setting on the monitor or mac studio to enable usb-c. to usb-c?

May I know how you fixed this problem? I am new to M8 too and I cannot use the webcam...
