Hello kailey52,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding that the camera on your MacBook isn't working with FaceTime. You've come to the right place! I'm happy to help.


If you haven't already, restart your Mac. Restarting can resolve many unexpected behaviors.

If the issue persists, test in safe mode. Starting in safe mode allows your Mac to run certain checks, remove caches, and prevent login items from automatically launching. This can isolate possible third party issues. Use the steps and information in the link below for assistance with safe mode:
