Reply To: Farplay can’t access USB webcam (MacOS)
Hi Jack, are you able to see video in FarPlay from any other camera (like your Mac’s built-in FaceTime camera)? What model of USB webcam are you trying to use?
Here are some things you can try.
- Quit FarPlay. Disconnect your USB webcam. Reconnect your USB webcam. Try using your webcam in FarPlay again.
- Check whether your USB webcam has custom software with privacy settings. Check for 3rd-party security software with camera privacy settings.
- Reset camera permissions for FarPlay: Run
tccutil reset Camera io.farplay.client
from the macOS terminal. Open FarPlay. Open a session. Start video. When your Mac says, ‘”FarPlay” would like to access the camera,” click OK. - Run FarPlay from the Terminal: In the Applications folder, Control+Click FarPlay. Select “Show Package Contents.” Double-click “Contents” and then “MacOS.” Double-click the FarPlay executable. Whether this solves the problem or not, we would love to provide additional suggestions using a copy of the terminal output. Note: The terminal output shows the session ID. IP addresses and usernames might also appear in the terminal output. If you prefer, email the terminal output to us privately at support@farplay.io, and we can respond here referring to relevant portions without revealing the session ID, etc.
Thank you,
David Liao
