I want to enable both cameras please
Are you referring to enabling both front and back cameras on your iPhone/iPad, or do you mean enabling multiple cameras on your Mac for video calls or recording? Let me know what you're trying to achieve, and I'll guide you step by step!
the internal one on the Mac, the meet usb one connect and yes also my iPhone continuity camera
Got it! You want to use
three cameras simultaneously
on your Mac:
Internal MacBook camera
(FaceTime HD Camera)
Meet USB camera
(external webcam)
iPhone Continuity Camer
a
Steps to Enable and Use Multiple Cameras on macOS
Since macOS doesn't natively support multiple cameras at the same time in most apps, you may need additional software. I'll guide you through the options:
1️⃣ Enable the Internal Mac Camera
Open
System Settings
>
Privacy & Security
>
Camera
Ensure the apps you want to use (Zoom, FaceTime, OBS, etc.) have camera access.
Test it in
FaceTime
or
Photo Booth
to confirm it's working.
2️⃣ Enable the Meet USB Camera
Plug in your
Meet USB camera
directly into a Mac USB port (avoid hubs if possible).
Open
FaceTime
or
QuickTime
to see if it appears as an option.
If not detected:
Go to
System Settings
>
Privacy & Security
>
Camera
and check if it’s listed.
Try unplugging/replugging and restarting your Mac.
Test in another app like Zoom or Google Meet.
3️⃣ Enable iPhone Continuity Camera
📌
Make sure your Mac and iPhone are logged into the same Apple ID with Bluetooth & Wi-Fi enabled.
Enable Continuity Camera
On your iPhone, go to
Settings
>
General
>
AirPlay & Handoff
Turn on
Continuity Camera
Use Your iPhone as a Camera
Open
FaceTime
,
Zoom
, or another video app.
Click the
Camera Selection menu
(usually in app settings).
Choose your
iPhone Camera
(it will appear as "iPhone Camera" or your device name).
4️⃣ Using All Three Cameras Simultaneously
Most apps (Zoom, FaceTime, etc.) allow
only one camera at a time
, so you may need
third-party software
to combine multiple video sources:
✅
Option 1: Use OBS Studio (Free)
Download
OBS Studio
Add each camera as a
Video Capture Device
in OBS
You can then:
Display all three cameras at once.
Stream or use OBS as a virtual camera in Zoom, Google Meet, etc.
✅
Option 2: Use ManyCam (Paid)
ManyCam lets you combine multiple cameras in video calls.
You can switch between cameras or show them side by side.
Would you like a guide for OBS or ManyCam? Let me know if you need help with a specific app! 🚀
yeah we disabled something as photobooth doesn't see any cams
If
Photo Booth
doesn't see any cameras, it means macOS might have
disabled camera access
or there's an issue with system permissions. Let’s go step by step to re-enable them.
1️⃣ Check System Privacy Settings
Go to
Apple menu
>
System Settings
Navigate to
Privacy & Security
>
Camera
Make sure
Photo Booth, FaceTime, Zoom, or any other apps you want to use
have access to the camera.
If the camera toggle is
OFF
, turn it
ON
.
2️⃣ Reset Camera Permissions (Terminal Method)
Since you're troubleshooting deep security issues, let's reset camera permissions manually.
Steps
:
Open Terminal
(Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
Run this command to reset camera permissions:
sh
Copy
tccutil reset Camera
Restart your Mac, then try
Photo Booth
again.
3️⃣ Check if macOS Detects Any Camera
If
Photo Booth still doesn’t see any cameras
, let’s check if macOS recognizes them.
Steps
:
Open Terminal
and run:
sh
Copy
system_profiler SPCameraDataType
This should list all connected cameras.
If
nothing appears
, macOS isn’t detecting any cameras (which could indicate a deeper issue).
If your
internal camera, USB camera, or iPhone
appears, they might just be blocked by an app setting.
4️⃣ Restart Camera Services (Force Reset)
Open Terminal
Run this command to restart the camera system:
sh
Copy
sudo killall VDCAssistant && sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant
Reopen Photo Booth
and test again.
5️⃣ Try a Safe Mode Boot
If nothing works, let’s boot into
Safe Mode
to rule out third-party interference:
Shut down your Mac
completely.
Turn it on and immediately
press & hold the Shift key
until you see the login screen.
Log in, open
Photo Booth
, and check if the camera works.
If it works in Safe Mode, a third-party app is blocking it—let me know, and we’ll track it down.
Final Check: iPhone & USB Camera
If macOS still doesn’t detect your
iPhone Continui
ty Camera or USB camera
, try:
Replugging the USB camera
directly into the Mac (not a hub).
On iPhone:
Toggle Airplane Mode ON and OFF
, then reconnect.
Open
QuickTime
>
New Movie Recording
and check if cameras appear.
Next Steps
Let me know what happens at each step, and I’ll guide you further! 🚀
