Apple macOS 14.1 recently made its way to Mac owners with a defect that has created a webcam issue. Eventually, the update pulled out the legacy camera and video system extension support due to which users are unable to perform relevant operations.
However, here is a rescue point that will help you in restoring the respective capability. Before proceeding, ensure a restart and complete shut down of the device so that the solution may not hamper other aspects.
How to fix the Apple macOS 14.1 webcam issue?
- Switch off your Apple Mac device
- Turn on the device in Recovery Mode by pressing the power button
- Tap Options > Continue
- Select the Utilities menu and click on Terminal
- Enter: system-override legacy-camera-plugins-without-sw-camera-indication=on
- Click Return and follow the on-screen steps
- Quit the Terminal and restart the device
After restarting the device, you will see a warning in System Settings. Visit the Privacy & Security section and select Camera. If legacy video support has been successfully restored, ‘the green dot not appearing in the menu bar’ prompt will show up.
