I clicked on the middle of your video and you say "ok so it didn't work i just left it alone" so that saved me a lot of time so I appreciate the honesty LOL. Off to find another method to fix mine
Not sure if you watched the full video or just the mid way point, but it did work again after restarting the computer again. Hopefully you've figured out a fix to your camera though!
I did, mine still hasn’t come back on after weeks later of trying the commands in terminal. Gonna replace the camera and cable most likely. Thank you though!
It worked for me after you said it didn't work I thought it's another dead end like the terminal but I decided to give it a shot anyway and it did....Thanks a bunch
Your experience mirrors mine. I had found the same Opt+Cmd+P+R restart method last week, restarted my MacBook, and it worked. But today, camera is not working again, and no matter how many times I use this method now it still doesn't work. So frustrating!
It worked for me the first time. I kept the buttons held down for 3 cycles before letting go of the buttons and the camera worked as soon as it came up. Thanks I've tried so much and nothing worked except this.
Well....it worked after I did this last night but this morning it wasn't working again and I didn't shut my computer down. So, I don't know what's going on with my computer.
MacBook Pro 2015 nothing worked for me what my problem was I opened my Macbook pro and on logic board from screen to logic board there is tiny camera cable that was detached from the logic board that fixed my camera
I have a MacBook Pro 2015 and my camera hasn't worked for years... have tried everything except opening it up.. might have to see if this is the problem with mine too! Seems to be a lot of the 2015 models that have this issue hmm
Hi. I have the same problem but on a imac 27 "late 2013, and ¿I don't know what to do? I didn't understand what you did? When it didn't enter you at the time when you executed the option to reset the NVRAM. Could you write to me that you tried I still don't understand English very well Thank you !!
I had the same problem and had to do these steps: 1. Shut Down (be sure to select deselect "Reopen windows when logging back in") 2. Do PRAM reset (make sure you hold the buttons and hear 2 startup tones - the 1st when you press Power, the 2nd after you have been pressing the buttons for a few seconds, then release) 3. Sign-on 4.

bruh okay so i seriously doubted you thinking these comments were fake but i got a online meeting in a few minutes so tried it and i held it after 2 sounds and when it turned on it actually worked. Thanks bud, btw im not no fake comment.
Glad to hear it worked for you. I only made this video because I was having trouble myself and couldn't find any help online so thought i'd share this method which helps some people
hello I went through the terminal and type sudo Killall VDCAssistant sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant but it shows "No matching processes were found" and I went to the activity monitor to look after the VCD but it is not there what shall I do to activate my mac camera?
Thank you!!! I tried this today on my MacBook Air 2011. I have not been able to get the camera to work at all for the last 6 months and the camera is now working again!! I think the key is to do a restart after the PRAM reset. My experience: The first time the MacBook booted up after the Shut Down/PRAM reset (eg. Command, Alt, P + R buttons) the Photo Booth camera light started blinking and eventually went back to the "There Is No Connected Camera" error. I then decided to Shut Down again, do the PRAM reset again, then I let the MacBook load, then once finished I did a Restart, all without opening any camera related apps. Once restarted, I then opened Photo Booth and FaceTime which both work with the camera now. Also, throughout this whole process I closed all open applications and deselected "Reopen windows when logging back in" to make sure no other application was conflicting with the PRAM reset. So to sum up the steps: 1. Shut Down (be sure to select deselect "Reopen windows when logging back in") 2. Do PRAM reset (make sure you hold the buttons and hear 2 startup tones - the 1st when you press Power, the 2nd after you have been pressing the buttons for a few seconds, then release) 3. Sign-on 4. Restart 5. Sign-on 6. Photo Booth and FaceTime. You can also see the camera listed in System Preferences/Security and Privacy and About this Mac/System Report/Hardware.

@@masterbrendan is it due to hardware problem (camera not functioning well)? I am also facing the same problem. I have tried many ways including terminal "sudo killall VDCAssistant, upgrading my mac Os, and also your way.... But my camera still doesn't work.....Huuuu

If you added the code in your iMac and it dose not working, so do this steps and it'll be perfectly work to solve your camera problem on your iMac. this link here> th-cam.com/video/WO2KAO26lJ4/w-d-xo.html
Even though this didn't worked for me, in the end I found out that the Kaspersky Internet Security app causes the camera issue for me. So killing the app fixed the problem. In case someone has the app and masterbrendan's solution didn't work, try this
Thanks Maria! You have reminded me that Kaspersky has been installed on my Macbook. Kaspersky just blocked the access to webcam by any app under the privacy setting, I can get back my camera after I opt for no block.
Luckily, all I had to do was restart my iMac, to get the camera back. Whew! That was close- I had to sign and send some important papers and God forbid I had to do it the old fashioned way (seriously Preview saves lots of time when signing pdfs).
🤣🤣 the way you were like "okay so it didnt work.." love the transparency man
