Hello,

I'm trying to get my built in iSight webcam working with OBS on the Windows 7 side of my iMac. Lately it has been showing a black box when previewing the Stream, however, it didn't always used to be this way. It started possibly when I switched some of the settings around. Now it won't even register the webcam in Skype which is really strange. I rebooted on the Mac side and was able to get iSight working in Photo Booth, and it then worked in Skype on Windows. After trying OBS, webcam became non-functional again. Can anyone give recommendation on how to get the iSight working again, and with OBS?

I have an Intel Core i5 quad core 2.80 & 2.79 Ghz processor
ATI Radeon HD 5750 graphics card
8Gb of ram

Here are the settings on the webcam scene.

And here's the most recent log:

I'm adding the webcam scene through Add>Global Source>Webcam. If I try to add it with Video Capture Device, it prevents me and says "A global source using this device already exists."

Please let me know if there's additional information I can provide. Thanks for the help.

I'm just having this issue. I tried turning everything off that could possibly use my webcam.

My Cam (iSight) is working fine in Skype and such so my cam shouldn't be the problem. OBS just doesn't seem to trigger the Webcam or something, no error is shown either. The LED near the cam isn't turning on and the 'scene' keeps black. Everything else in OBS seems to work fine too.

Maybe you found a solution already (since it has been more than a year that you had this problem). I hope someone else can help me either way,

Thanks in advance!
