Click on the PhotoBooth app icon to open the app. You can record a video with it. Then, when finished, drag the video from the bottom of the PhotoBooth screen to your desktop., and from there into iMovie. It’s not too maneuverable, however. The camera lens is located at the top middle of the laptop screen. You would have to point the screen.
