Duplicate versions of Quicktime Player - gone?

I just downloaded Ventura. In previous OS versions, Quicktime Player had a "Duplicate" option that let you create a duplicate version of QP so you could record multiple webcams simultaneously (1 instance of QP per webcam). With Ventura, that option no longer exists in QP. Was this capability removed? Disappointing if so..

iMac 27″, macOS 10.13

Quicktime Player 'Duplicate' greyed out in OS Ventura Has anyone else experienced this? 'Duplicate' is greyed out on the QT Player in Ventura. (I'm trying to make a copy of QT to record two streams of video at the same time.) Works just fine in Monterey (I can make multiple copies of QT), but in Ventura, no luck..keyboard shortcuts to dupe QT in Ventura don't work either. Thank you for any advice. Phil

Open Terminal

Type:

open -n -a /System/Applications/QuickTime\ Player.app (followed by enter)

Type it again (followed by enter)

And again if 3 instances is needed…
