This quick guide walks you through plugging in and verifying your webcam on macOS Sequoia, plus where to adjust picture settings inside common meeting apps.
Set Up Your Webcam
-
Plug the USB plug into the USB port
Make sure the USB plug is fully seated in the port.
-
Check for compatibility
Confirm with your webcam manufacturer that it’s compatible with macOS. (All Cyber Acoustics webcams are compatible with macOS Sequoia.)
-
Check the privacy shield (if present)
If your webcam has a privacy shutter, flip it up so the lens is uncovered.
-
Adjust picture settings in your meeting app
macOS has limited built-in webcam controls. Most adjustments (exposure, focus, etc.) are inside your conferencing app. Use the app-specific guides below for step-by-step setup.
Tip: Open your meeting app’s settings (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet) to choose your camera and adjust picture options before you join a call.
