![]() Since this is a common problem I hope that Apple will just provide a fix in a future macOS version. When you know of such a (free/cheap) utility, give me a link here. In my situation, it’s better to open the back and lightly press the black plastic ribbon vs pinch the screen. Applying pressure on the screen causes the LVDS at the back to seat. I’m not skilled in programming native tools for macOS, but with this it should not be a big issue for someone skilled to provide a small utility that just takes the default camera and sets its frame rate to 25fps. Okay, so I bought a 2011 MacBook pro with this issue. My machine: 2017 2.9 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 Macbook Pro 15' 16gb 1TB Radeon Pro 560 4 GB, Intel HD Graphics 630 1536 MB macOS Catalina 10.15.6 Ok I had this exact issue but it was with blue artifacts instead of green. I did not find traces to a preference that I could set via CLI. It uses the the AVCaptureDevice API, which allows to query and modify the settings of capture devices. Just for those who are interested, the main source here seems to be av-capure.mm. So I wanted to know what OBS is doing under the hood. I was interested if there is a hidden configuration switch in macOS to influence the default settings for the camera. What does OBS do to change the framerate? There are other applications in the app store that allow you to adjust the frame rate of input devices, but I prefer to use a free one here to apply the workaround. With it, you can create a virtual device and adjust the frame rate. OBS Studio is a widely used software and available for free. Unfortunately it means I need to have a 300MB application just to change a device setting. However, there is no way to configure this setting in macOS by default. So the build in camera needs to change its frame rate. The default frame rate of the build in camera seems to be 30 fps, and in PAL countries 25 fps is used. For me the frame rate is also OK when I close OBS then once a call has started. The flickering stops! However, it requires that you open OBS Studio once you start a video call. I found this workaround, and it fixes the issue also for me: ![]() This is a known issue with the new Macs, and unfortunately there is no solution with current macOS for it. So this is bothering me each single day, and I looked how to fix this. While I’m enjoying its performance and quiteness in comparison to the MBP 2019, one thing is annoying: In video calls the integrated FaceTime HD camera provides a flickering picture. Since recently I’m proudly using the new 16” M1Pro MBP.
