Possible solution to widely reported issues of third party webcams not working on the new M1 mac minis. I have the new M1 Mac Mini and purchased several webcams that would not work! The Mac mini detected webcam but no VIDEO. The latest webcam I have the Logitech Pro HD C920S. Support from Apple and third party manufacturers could not resolve problem.
Solution discovered that worked for me like a charm! And may work for others. I struggled to find solutions on forums and just wanted to share my discovery.
In short. My "administrator" profile I.e. the profile you log into computer seems to be the culprit. I created a "guest standard" profile and logged into it. Connected the webcam and bam! Worked like a charm. I did not download any logitech software or the like....it just worked. Zoom was used and FaceTime. All worked without a hitch!. Hope this helps others.
