Logitech C930e external webcam not working on MacMini with OS Ventura 13.5 It has been a frustrating experience that the Logitech C930e webcam that I have been using for a few years suddenly do not work for my Mac Mini. I have ensured that both the OS and individual app are updated to the latest version. I have also made sure in Privacy and Security, access to camera is given to the apps that need to use the external webcam. What else could it be? Appreciate any help in here.

Mac camera not working after trying several fixes Hello, I'm reaching out for help because ever since 3 months ago my MacBook's camera has not been working at all. I have tried several different fixes with the terminal and checking the camera tab in system status (it shows up), but nothing is fixing my issue. I was on the latest version of Ventura and I was hoping maybe updating to a beta version of Sonoma would do the trick, but unfortunately it did not do anything. I bought this mac refurbished so I am praying that there is no hardware damage, but it was working perfectly when I got it and even when I try to use my iPhone or external Logitech c920 webcam as a camera it again does not work. I really love this Mac and I just want to be able to use FaceTime and PhotoBooth and record video. -Chris attached will be screenshots of PhotoBooth, FaceTime, and system status in order.

What model? Many are considered USB peripherals operating on an internal USB bus, and sometimes they can get disconnected. Maybe try resetting SMC?
