Will there be an update which brings back webcam detection for a camcorder via usb? S-Video/Video Co

I used to be able to use my camcorder as a webcam on flash generated webcam sites, but now I cannot.

Will this be fixed in an update?

I have Mac Mavericks OS

What make and model is your webcam?
Also, does it still work with FaceTime, QuickTime or Skype?

A load of cams that worked with Mt. Lion are no longer supported in Mavericks.

I have a JVC camcorder, not a webcam though.

It works with skype and used to work with flash player in chatrooms which were run with flash.

There was an update and it stopped working, even is I download an older version of flash, the chat would freeze when they enabled my webcam.

I plug it into the usb, so skype can detect it as s-video or video composite.

Does it show up in your Flash Player Settings?

Hi

No it does not show up in settings, although it used to.

Also I am sure that when I installed an older version of flash, it would show but if I selected it and turned on my cam, it would freeze the open chat window

Flash Player Uninstaller - That'll remove what you now have.

Flash Player 11.2.202.332 - That's a zip file with ALL builds of that version. Install the one you need from the folder.

You'll see "endless" update notifications with that version, though.

The older versions crash my flash when I play my webcam

Yep...

Sadly, Macs are "Plug &Play" with almost EVERYTHING except.... wait for it.... webcams and video cameras.

There are 2 choices.

1. Apple's iSight (discontinued, and $$$$$$$ if you CAN find one)

2. A "high end" webcam from Logitech (C615 or C920 will work with Mavericks, but they're $60 and $80 respectively - BOTH are 1080p HD but the C920 has Stereo mics)
