hey probably you are not setting right! I'm using M3 and so far so good! however the documentation it was not so intuitive! I create a PR that I don't know if will be approved, but maybe you can check that out and help y https://github.com/hacksider/Deep-Live-Cam/pull/990.
info: locally I'm using Python 3.10.16 and not 3.10.2
Hi @wpoPR , I just followed up with your updates to the Readme but still having the same issue.

Im having this same problem on two MacOS machines (M1 and M1Pro).
However, I can tell python to open and display my webcam using this quick test script: `└─(130:21:42:%)── cat test.py ──(Fri,Mar21)─┘ import cv2
frameWidth = 640 frameHeight = 480 cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0) cap.set(3, frameWidth) cap.set(4, frameHeight) cap.set(10,150)
while cap.isOpened(): success, img = cap.read() if success: cv2.imshow("Result", img) if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'): break`
Running that works fine with device id 0
I should also note that the Deep Live Cam window opens but is completely blank (no buttons or regions within window)
Reinstall OpenCV with Video Support
Ensure OpenCV was installed with video support:
pip uninstall opencv-python opencv-python-headless
pip install opencv-python
The headless version does not include video support.
Full output what, GPT said to me... Potential Fixes
- Check Camera Availability
Run the following command in a terminal to list connected cameras:
ls /dev/video*
If no devices are found, the system isn’t recognizing a camera.
- Check Camera Permissions
On macOS, OpenCV might not have permission to access your camera. Go to: • System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Camera • Ensure Python (or your application) has permission to access the camera.
If needed, reset permissions using:
tccutil reset Camera
- Manually Specify Camera ID
If OpenCV is failing to detect the correct camera, manually specify a different device ID in run.py:
import cv2
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0) # Change 0 to 1 or 2 if needed if not cap.isOpened(): print("Error: Camera could not be opened.")
Try different numbers (0, 1, 2) until one works.
- Reinstall OpenCV with Video Support
Ensure OpenCV was installed with video support:
pip uninstall opencv-python opencv-python-headless
pip install opencv-python
The headless version does not include video support.

Final Steps
If none of these fixes work, try running your script with debugging enabled:
python -m trace --trace run.py
This will print out every executed line to help pinpoint the exact failure.
@scottnzuk ui.py already has logic to manually pick all possible cameras in MacOS
# On macOS, additional cameras typically use indices 1 and 2 for i in [1, 2]: cap = cv2.VideoCapture(i) if cap.isOpened(): camera_indices.append(i) camera_names.append(f"Camera {i}") cap.release()
Not sure what else needs to be done but it's throwing the same error:
Frame processor face_enhancer not found OpenCV: out device of bound (0-0): 1 OpenCV: camera failed to properly initialize! OpenCV: out device of bound (0-0): 2

I had a very similar issue and the steps above fixed my fault, but I also this year default my Terminal (.zshrc) to setup Virtual Environment.
`# Open their .zshrc file nano ~/.zshrc
Add this at the end of the file (customize the path if necessary):
if [[ "$PWD" == "path-to-your-project" ]]; then source ~/path-to-your-project/.venv/bin/activate fi
Apply changes
source ~/.zshrc`
just helps keep things seperate from host, there is probably better ways but yea.
