Hi Folks,
So just last night my webcam decided to self-isolate. We've been having near daily Teams meetings and it's been working fine. But when I tried to use it in a meeting last night, I got the dreaded "Not connected" error. Same error with any other app that uses it. I logged in as a different user and it works fine. I've tried every "fix" I've found online and none have worked. I could follow Apple's advice and just create a new account for myself, but that's a royal pain to get everything back to where I want it. Once Time Machine finishes its current backup, I'll try restoring to a backup from last week. But I thought I'd check here to see if anyone knows how a user account gets corrupted to where it can't use the webcam. There has to be a reason.
