Samsung M80C Monitor Dedicated Camera Not Recognized by 2023 Mac Mini I just got a new Mac Mini that I'm using with Samsung M80C monitor. I tried to do a trial Zoom call to adjust the camera settings and make sure everything works correctly, but the Mac is not recognizing the camera. I am connected using HDMI to HDMI cable that came with the monitor. Various help articles I've found say switch to USB-C to USB-C, others say to specifically use Thunderbolt 4 connection for the camera to be recognized. Also found articles that say that there's an ongoing issue with the camera showing then disappearing related to the Mac coming out of sleep mode. I need to be able to have the camera connect and stay connected. Is this hopeless or is there a fix?

Monitor with built in webcam and Mac mini - the Mac mini does not see the Webcam. Mac mini M2 with a 27" Apple Cinema Display. The Display is connected via a USB-C to Mini Display Port adapter. Works fine but the Mac mini does not see the built in Webcam, which worked fine when this Monitor was a second screen for my old iMac. Any thoughts on a fix? Cheers, Richard

My Mac mini M2 is not detecting my Samsung M8 Smart Monitor camera I have a Mac mini M2 (2023) and a Samsung M8 Smart Monitor. However, the Mac is not recognising the camera that came with the monitor. The camera works with the monitor home screen itself, just not with the Mac. I've tried connecting the camera directly to the Mac with a new Apple Thunderbolt 4 USB-C to USB-C cable, but that doesn't help either. It seems others have had issues with the same but got it to work eventually, so it must be compatible. I'd appreciate any help! Thank you!

The HDMI connection does not carry the I/O for the displays down stream USB ports or Web camera.

For that, you need a second USB cable connection between the Mac mini and the display.
