If you’re in the United States, it seems some people have still been able to get their hands on them. I had pretty much resigned myself to living with the Mac’s FaceTime camera. Well, then I came across a YouTube video that perfectly describes how to setup a Sony DSLR as a webcam using a piece of free software called CamTwist. It’s a clunky setup that requires me to fire up my camera, then fire up Remote, then fire up CamTwist, then fire up the remote streaming tool of choice.Įxcept, when I opened up Zoom, it wasn’t recognizing the CamTwist webcam. (Skype seemed to work fine but everybody is using Zoom these days.) Everything I was finding on the web was telling me to downgrade to a previous version of Zoom to allow this to work. Turns out, as Zoom tried to fix a bunch of security issues, they decided to lock out any unsigned webcams. ( This is explained in this Reddit thread.) CamTwist is 10 year old software and isn’t signed. To solve this problem, you need unsign Zoom so that it’ll allow unsigned webcams. ![]() This feels icky but it worked and since we’re dealing with a global pandemic at the moment, unsigning an app seems like the least of my worries.
