"Why can't my Mac find the camera when I go to FaceTime? It works on everything else.: I have a 2018 Mac book pro. My FaceTime camera won't work. When I go to privacy and Security it doesn't even come up. My Mac acts like it doesn't exist.... Thanks for the help."

Troubleshooting iSight Camera:

A. Is there a camera even seen? Screenshot of a Mac Without a Camera

To Find Out:

1. Go to: Apple menu
2. Select: About this Mac
3. Click: System Report... button
4. View: Hardware on left-column
5. Click: Camera
6. Confirm if a Camera is Even Seen

If no camera is seen....

B. Get the Drivers:

If no camera is seen, then the drivers went missing, somehow. So, you need to get to drivers. And to do that...

Reinstall the macOS:

Nothing would be deleted. It's just that items that have become corrupted or deleted, would be replaced or reinstalled back to where they should be. Go Here: How to reinstall macOS from macOS Recovery - Apple Support. Important: Be certain to create a backup of your Mac prior to all of this. That way, you can have something to restore from the Mac from, should anything go wrong with the reinstall.

C. Refer to these Links:

• Use the Built-In Camera on Mac - Apple Support
• Control Access to your Camera on Mac - Apple Support
• If your Built-In Camera isn't Working on your Mac - Apple Support

You are welcome.
