Webcam issues on Monterey

Well, it's now October 1, 2022 and my NEXIGO webcam still does not work in Monterey for Face Time and Skype when in clamshell mode. It's okay in Zoom and Photo Booth (which I almost never use). I've read many complaints about this problem with other webcams. Unbelievable, Can someone provide some insight on when Apple will fix this recurring problem. It seems every new OS brings it's own user headaches - I used to be able to count on Apple computers back in the day, now it's hit or miss.

Hey danielfromvalencia.


Just so we're clear, determined by whom? Have you already worked directly with Apple on this issue? Is the webcam connected directly to the computer or is it connected through a USB hub of some sort? If you're using a hub or another device like a display, try connecting the webcam directly to the computer and testing to see if the results are the same


Take care.

Hi danielfromvalencia,


For help with connecting an external webcam, test the steps below found in the article here: Use an external camera with Mac - Apple Support


"Connect an external camera

  1. Connect the camera’s cable to a port on your Mac. See About the video ports on Mac.
  2. If the camera has a connector that doesn’t match the port you want to connect it to, you may be able to use it with an adapter. See the Apple Support article Adapters for the Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, or USB-C port on your Mac.
  3. Wait 10 to 15 seconds for your Mac to recognize the camera.

For more information about connecting your external camera, see the manufacturer’s instructions."


You can also test a different port, and reach out to NEXIGO to ensure all third-party firmware is up to date.
