Why Does My Mac Camera Work For Facetime But Not Skype

Check the camera indicator light

Same problem on my 2011 iMac. No camera available in Photo Booth, Facetime, or Skype. The Photo Booth screen says 'There in no connected camera.' The Facetime 'Video' menu shows no camera. The 'Camera' chooser in Skype 'Audio/Video' preferences shows 'No Camera'. 'sudo killall VDCAssistant' doesn't help. Dear Community, I'm running Parallels for Mac 12 (last version) on a Mac OS Sierra (last beta 10.12.4 b6) Macbook Pro and is happening something extrange: If I work with facetime or skype or some app that needs the iSight camera before running Parallels, image from camera is received (green led from camera is on) and the apps are working as expected.

If the camera indicator light next to the camera flashes green on your Mac notebook, contact Apple.
