Using a few webcams that worked previously on both M1 and Intel Macbooks, testing out on the new MacBook Pro 2021 and the UVC streams are not showing across apps.

Here's my setup

Tested the Anker, OBSBot, and an Opal, and not seeing any of them show up on UVC streams

E.g. The Anker shows up in System Information > USB but in UVC apps like Zoom, etc it does not show up.

Running system_profiler SPCameraDataType -json

Returns just { "SPCameraDataType" : [ { "_name" : "FaceTime HD Camera", "spcamera_model-id" : "FaceTime HD Camera", "spcamera_unique-id" : "47B4B64B70674B9CAD2BAE273A71F4B5" } ] }%

This should be resolved in a subsequent update. Log a feedback if you still see it on 12.0.1.

Hi,

still not working, why not just provide some kind of utility which could provide some basic things for camera control ? Like this stupid auto color correction or brightness autoadjust, which does dumb things and it would be best to disable them, but none of this is possible right now

I'm having the same issue, currently on the below system.

M1 14in MB pro with 16GB RAM literally got it a week ago. Monterey 12.0 (21A344)

OP what is an Opal? I have a Logitech C922 which UVC controls will not appear, I'm using webcam settings app from app store to test.

Not working on 2018 MacBook Air with 12.2.1 either. Stopped working when upgraded from 11. Cmon Apple, can’t be that hard surely?
