Using Webcam on Mac Book Pro

Submitted by rbpalmer2401 on #1

<p>I am trying to use a Webcam to monitor my 3D printer, I can connect using my windows 10 PC, and work the webcam but when I try this on my Mac Book Pro I can see the device in the VirtualHere client connect to it but cannot see it in the list of available cameras.
</p>
<p>Server is on a Qnap NAS TVS-1080+
</p>
<p>If I attach the webcam directly this works on both the MB Pro and PC.

Isochronous devices like webcam/speaker wont work on the mac client. Only windows and linux clients support these types of devices.

Hi,

Is the Webcam limitation still present in client v5.5.6 for MacOS?
I can see my webcam on the system, but no image. The same configuration is working with a Windows client.

Thanks a lot.

Definitely, however if depends on Apple adding functionality, and they never give any timelines.
