Q: My FaceTime camera is not working in El Capitan (Thunderbolt Display)
Anyone know how to activate FaceTime camera on my Thunderbolt Display, every time I try, it says "No Camera Available - To use FaceTime Turn on the camera"??
I do not see an option to "turn on camera" anywhere?
Any help??

I had the exact same problem on my 2011 MBP 15'', as soon as I upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan, the built-in FaceTime HD camera did not activate both in the FaceTime application and Photo Booth.
This worked for me:
Go to: Applications > Utilities > Terminal and type the following (without the " " ): "sudo killall VDCAssistant" hit enter, type your password and hit enter again.
Restart your mac.
This should fix your problem with the built-in FaceTime HD camera.
