I recently installed Local By Flywheel in order to evaluate it for developing a WordPress based web-store. The installation seemed to go well and I was able to use the WordPress Dashboard to install WooCommerce and start to set up a web store.
However, when I later tried to use FaceTime on my MacBook Pro, it said that there was No Camera available. This had been working fine less than a week ago.
I found a number of online reports stating that VirtualBox installations may cause the FaceTime camera to stop working on MBPs, but the only solution they recommended was to uninstall VirtualBox.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix the FaceTime camera issue, caused by VirtualBox ?
Have you considered using the Native App Docker for Mac, that uses HyperKit, instead of running Docker on top of VirtualBox ?
I managed to fix my problem by using a Hex editor to change the text string “facetime” to " isight " in the replug_facetime utility, that was made by someone in the Parallels community.
I renamed my version of the utility to replug_iSight
I later found a copy of the code for replug_facetime and saved it for another day when it might be needed.
Do you have a copy of your replug_isight version? I am having the same problem. The replug_facetime file tries to find the Facetime camera, but my camera is listed as iSight camera.
I have no idea on how to edit that file so it can search for isight instead of facetime.
Hi Kirk,
Thanks so much for sharing your copy of the file. Followed the steps mentioned on the txt file and worked with no problems. Finally got my camera working.
