Hi!


Here to help!


If FaceTime isn't working on your Mac - Apple Support


But I am worried about the light not burning. This might be hardware related.

Could you check:


 > about this Mac > system report and then left column, click "USB".


It should list something like

"built-in iSight"

or

"FaceTime HD Camera (Built-in)"


etc.

If on Ventura/Sonoma, go to about this Mac and scroll all the way down for system report.


If your camera is not recognised as a USB external built-in device, it's probably hardware-related and service is recommended.


If it is listed, try something like:

Test all apps, browsers after restart

add a test user account to see if camera is working there.


Let me know if you need more help,


Kind regards

RRD

Followed your instructions for Sonoma. This is what it says under USB:

Version: 2.01

Serial Number: ?

Manufacturer: Apple Inc.

Created a test user. Still no camera to connect to.
