macOS 12.0.1 & Kap 3.4.1: Camera is not showing up when recording and camera video is not getting recorded

christianblessing-me commented 2 years ago

macOS version: 12.0.1
Kap version: 3.4.1
Step to reproduce: Activate the Camera Plugin, start the recording
Current behavior: The camera window is not showing up when recording neither is the camera recorded when playing back the recorded video.
Expected behavior: The camera window is showing up while recording and the image of the camera is actually getting recorded.
Workaround: none

I've already checked the camera permission in the privacy settings, I reverted them and set them back. I also already re-installed Kap as well as the kap-camera repository completely but nothing solved the issue.

Some more discussion here: https://github.com/karaggeorge/kap-camera/issues/34 also does not work for me on 12.0.1 with 3.4.1.

christianblessing-me commented 2 years ago

Any updates here?

willwillems commented 2 years ago

I was contemplating picking this up but it seems like the owner of this repo isn't accepting/merging PR's

mbukh commented 2 years ago

macOS version: 12.0.1 Kap version: 3.4.1 still not working

remus-b commented 2 years ago

I'm also having issues with this pluging for a few months already. Everything is checked under permissions, even the macOS Monterey shows activity for the camera being used by the Kap app but not showing anywhere during the recording.

ankibalyan commented 2 years ago

same behaviour. camera is not working on mac os 12.1 and kap intel Version 3.5.3 (3.5.3.1804)

KastanDay commented 2 years ago

Same behavior on MacOS 12.3 with Apple Silicon.

ibehnam commented 2 years ago

Can confirm on MBP with M1 Pro.

KastanDay commented 2 years ago

Since this repo seems mostly unmaintained, I switched to OBS and I love it. I even made a little matte to make my camera into a circle (instead of a 16x9 rectangle). Good luck!

I think I'll do the same. OBS runs smoothly on M1. I liked the simplicity of Kap and considered donating to it as well. But at this point it's mostly useful for creating quick gifs and videos, not educational videos with my picture on the screen.

Nitrodist commented 2 years ago

This affects me as well, Kap is not working with macOS Monterey 12.4 using an M1.

Hey people, I've fixed this issue in my fork alongside other tweaks I wanted for my use. Haven't published it yet, but you can feel free to clone and use it if you'd like.

Can you do a pull request?

And how can I use it? Did someone test this?

proton1k commented 1 year ago

Kap itself has a new build for M1 chip, probably solved issues with capturing screen, but this plugin still does not work with the latest version of Kap, Macbook Air M1 and Monterey 12.6.

spy4x commented 1 year ago

Still same issue :(

aleksfadini commented 9 months ago

Same. Can someone post a plugin that works or at least point to a different option from within Kap?

thunfischbrot commented 2 months ago

For future reference: This fork works currently and includes the neccessary installation steps in the README.

davidscheutz commented 2 months ago

@thunfischbrot awesome man!

However I run into the following issue with your fork at the last step npm link:

npm ERR! Cannot destructure property 'name' of '.for' as it is undefined.

@thunfischbrot awesome man!

npm ERR! Cannot destructure property 'name' of '.for' as it is undefined.

Yeah same problem here, @thunfischbrot any hint how to fix that if that worked for you ?

thunfischbrot commented 1 month ago

Hi! To make sure I can reproduce this issue, please try the following steps and let me kow if you still experience the same issues:

Open your terminal and enter the following command to download and make available the plugin to kap:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Kap/plugins/
npm remove kap-camera
npm remove kap-cam
git clone https://github.com/thunfischbrot/kap-cam
cd kap-cam
npm link
cd ..
npm install ./kap-cam
npm link

Open Kap Preferences
Select the Plugins pane, and switch to Discover tab.
In the list of plugins, find cam and toggle it on.

stezz commented 1 month ago

Hi @thunfischbrot, thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately cam does not appear in the plugins/Discover tab because npm link fails.
