drew764 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Does anyone have their webcam working in OSX 10.11 running in VMware workstation 12 player? I read and followed all the threads on this site and I was able to get OSX 10.11 installed and running on VMware workstation 12 player. I also successfully spoofed my settings in the .vmx file and was able to get Messages and Facetime working, however I cannot get my webcam to work. If I open Facetime it logs in just fine but my preview screen is blank. Also in photobooth, my camera preview screen is blank. If I go to Apple Menu - About this mac - system report - camera - it does show an HD facetime camera present. I did connect my camera to the OSX side via the VMware workstation - connect USB device. What am I missing here? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/311478-webcam-in-osx-vm/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I missing here? The video driver that VMware uses does not support acceleration via QE/CI which is used by those programs. So the windows are not drawn properly. Unfortunately there i on way to fix this until VMware release drivers that support QE/CI.

trungpt Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I hope that VMware will soon release a nice graphic driver so that Java Apps (such as JetBrains products) can run nicely in a MacOSX virtual machine.
