Looking for the overview instead? How to freeze your camera on Microsoft Teams covers the basics. This page is the macOS setup that Teams requires before it will show a virtual camera at all.
Since the last Microsoft Teams update Microsoft made it a little bit harder to use an application that interacts with your webcam.
Here are the one time installation steps required to make FreezingCam work on your computer:
- Make sure FreezingCam is installed and the license is activated
- Close every instance of Microsoft Teams, and make sure it's not running in the background.
- Open the Terminal, run the following commands one by one:
- These commands might take a bit of time but are very important: *
xcode-select --installsudo codesign --remove-signature "/Applications/Microsoft Teams.app"sudo codesign --remove-signature "/Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/Frameworks/Microsoft Teams Helper.app"sudo codesign --remove-signature "/Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/Frameworks/Microsoft Teams Helper (GPU).app"sudo codesign --remove-signature "/Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/Frameworks/Microsoft Teams Helper (Plugin).app"sudo codesign --remove-signature "/Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/Frameworks/Microsoft Teams Helper (Renderer).app" - Once these commands have finished running, you can start Microsoft Teams.
- Go in the settings and select the right webcam
* If Microsoft Teams is installed somewhere else, adjust the path accordingly.
That's it. FreezingCam should now work in Teams, as will any other app that interacts with your webcam.
