Mac Desktop Client not working with External Webcams
The desktop mac client is no longer reading other webcams other than the default. The web client is still reading my other webcam. After restarting twice and troubleshooting, I am unable to determine...
ajantonioli Interestingly, I am now able to use external webcams using the same version you mention whereas on the previous versions going back to last July I was unable to. I don't know if enabling "Developer Preview" (which I have enabled) does anything or not.
I reverted to an older version of Teams (one linked from the website) and it worked again! Then during the day an auto update came through and took the functionality away again. Would love for this to get fixed in whichever version keeps getting pushed to me.
craigmcrae I had to get fairly aggressive on the Teams updater daemon (Mac) after sudo
chflags schg /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.microsoft.teams.TeamsUpdaterDaemon.plist
Note that this can only be undone (noschg) in Safe mode - but no other way seemed to work (it's the overwriting of this file that allows the update, it seems).

Yes, let's hope that the Teams folks fix this bug. I did file a bug report: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/908686-bug-reports/suggestions/40961347-latest-teams-update-breaks-virtual-cameras-micro
