This is how to turn your MacBook Pro camera on. Please give this video a like and please subscribe. A quick tutorial on how To Disable The Camera On A Mac or you can say it is how to turn off camera on mac os x because apps will not see the camera running. To turn off the Mac's camera, quit the application that's using it. Click “Launchpad” on the Dock of your Mac and then click “Photo Booth” to launch Apple's native application for shooting pictures and videos. The built-in camera turns on, and its light glows, indicating that it is activated. Don’t panic if your camera suddenly stops working during a video call or if you see a “No camera connected” or “No camera available” error when you launch an app. Camera issues on the Mac are usually minor, and their solutions can be as simple as just shutting down and powering up your computer. If you’re having trouble using your Mac’s built-in camera, try one of these quick fixes to get it working again. Force Quit VDCAssistant and AppleCameraAssistant If you need to use your camera right away or can’t dedicate a lot of time to troubleshooting the issue, try restarting camera-related processes like “VDCAssistant” and “AppleCameraAssistant” in the Terminal app. VDCAssistant and AppleCameraAssistant are programs that run in the background whenever you use your Mac’s built-in camera. Complications with these processes can affect any number of applications that can access the camera like FaceTime, iMovie, Messages, and Skype. Sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant and press Enter. Once you’ve stopped both processes, launch an application that uses the built-in camera and see if the problem is resolved. Adjust Your Camera Settings There isn’t a camera section in System Preferences, so you can’t change the camera settings directly. However, most apps that use the built-in camera have adjustable camera settings. FaceTime and Skype let you specify which camera you want to use for video calls, so make sure the built-in camera is selected. Reboot Your Computer Another quick way to solve camera problems is to reboot your Mac. Be sure to completely shut down your Mac instead of choosing the Restart option. Restarting your computer will close your session and temporarily turn off your Mac but leave the RAM untouched. On the other hand, shutting down your Mac will clear the RAM and end all processes, including ones that might be interfering with your camera. Update Your Software If your camera doesn’t work with a specific photo-editing or video-conferencing app, it may be incompatible with that application. For example, you can’t make video calls using the Skype app if you or the person you’re contacting has an outdated version of Skype (version 2.8 or older). If you want to make video calls, both parties need to update the app to the latest version. The same philosophy applies to your operating system. If you’re having camera problems, see if there’s a security update available for your Mac. Apple includes important bug fixes in each build release, so it’s important to update to your software to the latest available version. Chances are they’ve identified your camera bug and resolved it in the most recent update. Conclusion It’s not always easy to pinpoint the cause of a camera issue on the Mac, but troubleshooting the problem is rarely difficult. Most camera-related issues and errors on the Mac are minor, and you can usually solve them in a few steps. However, if you’ve tried the above fixes and still can’t use your camera, contact Apple for further assistance. Very easy to follow the crystal clear comprehensive instructions, inspite of my low-level knowledge of computer technology. After learning here the reason why the mere restarting of my MacBook failed to restore the sudden, for the first time loss of the built-in camera function (“No Camera Connected”) on my otherwise reliably and smoothly running MacBook, I was able to fix the problem with the shutting down command before having to try the other above well explained options. Thank you for the useful, much appreciated advice. Turning the Camera On and Off To use your MacBook's camera, select any app that requires it, such as Photo Booth, FaceTime or Messages. On older MacBooks, you can also use iSight. When you open Photo Booth, the camera comes on automatically. If you are using a video app like FaceTime, click the 'Video' button to activate the camera. When the camera is on, a green indicator light appears beside the camera lens above your screen. You will also see the video feed from your camera in the app's window. To turn off the camera, close the app or turn off the video on your video streaming app. The camera's indicator light turns off. Troubleshooting Your Camera If you are using an app that should access the camera but can't detect it, make sure no other apps that use the camera are running. For example, if iMovie and FaceTime are both open, one may interfere with the other.
