Problems like this one are often caused by outdated software and/or conflicts between older and newer versions of the problematic app and the macOS. To do this, go back to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Camera as we showed you above, find the conflicting app in the list to the right and untick its entry, so it no longer has the permission to use your Mac’s camera. If you’ve done everything up until now and Teams still can’t use the camera, then you can try to prohibit the conflicting app from using the camera. Click on the Force Quit option in the bottom-right of the window.Select the app you think may have taken over the camera.Select the Apple Logo menu and click on Force Quit.

If you have another app on your Mac that also needs to use the camera (for instance, Skype), it is highly likely that there’s a conflict between the two apps and that the other app has “stolen” the camera and so Teams cannot use it. If you did the steps from above or Teams already had the needed permission, yet it is still unable to use the camera, there may be a conflict with another app that is causing the issue. Solution 2: Resolve conflicts with other apps You must quit Teams and then start it again, and then the camera should be working as intended.
Solution 1: Give Microsoft Teams the necessary permission.

In other words, if you are experiencing this problem, it’s likely that your macOSis set to not allow third-party apps to use the computer’s camera. The usual reason for this problem is a conflict between the Teams app and the security and privacy settings of macOS. For the most part, it works as intended, but there is a somewhat common issue that Mac users tend to experience with it where the camera won’t work when the app is started. Microsoft Teams is a popular business communication platform that has versions not only for Windows but also for Linux and Mac, so it’s not uncommon for people with Linux or Mac computers to use it.
