camera not working after upgrade to Ventura

I upgraded OS from Monterey to Ventura yesterday. After the upgrade the built-in camera stopped working, on any app (Facetime, Photo Booth, Google Meet, Zoom,...)

I donàt think it's a hardware problem because it was working few hours before the upgrade and I can still read a device name and code opening System Information. The green light turns on initially, then after some seconds of black screen (where instead I should visualize the camera recording), it turns off. It tried almost everything: privacy settings, Screen Time settings, restart Mac, reset SMC...

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.2

Hi LucaDallAsta,


Thanks for connecting with us here in Apple Support Communities. You've reached us from a great article about what to do if your camera isn't working. Following these steps was a good start: If your built-in camera isn’t working on your Mac - Apple Support


Let's also have you start up your Mac in safe mode to see is the issue persists there. It'll help us determine if this is related to the login items on your Mac.


See: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support


How to use safe mode on your Mac
Safe mode can help you to determine whether an issue is caused by software that loads as your Mac starts up.

Safe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software as it starts up, including login items, system extensions not required by macOS, and fonts not installed by macOS. It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility. And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed.
Safe mode is particularly useful when you're trying to resolve an issue that doesn't seem to be associated with using any particular app. As always, keeping your software up to date is the first step toward resolving any software issue.



Kind regards.
