Mac OS Webcam Low performance with 4 series notebooks

Open raymondlo84 opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

It seems the webcam interface with Macbook's built-in webcam is not working properly with the notebooks. It's going at 1-2fps at most. The performance is ok with an external webcam or virtual camera. I believe it can be related to the opencv interface + mac os x.

The current workaround is to use OBS or virtual webcam like logicapture .

We could add a little tutorial about how to create a virtual camera or URLs for setting up.

Then, you will be able to see the virtual webcam as one of the webcam devices.

This issue goes away after I ran the code in the notebook_utils.ipynb with the webcam. Something isn't working properly with the code base.

It seems to be fixed in 12.6. I will close this for now.
