Because mine doesn't. I have downloaded MaCam and Sonix drivers. None of them worked. Although I did manage to get a green light on the cam (which means power if nothing else) while playing with this issue. I also did manage to get a weird image of myself but when I brought up the cam controls nothing I slid or clicked changed anything. I do not know which driver was controlling the cam because I had a few of them installed at the same time. I know.. I know.. not very smart or helpful. I am just switching from PC to Mac. I can fix tons of things myself on a PC.. but I'm not doing as well with this Mac.. yet.

LifeCam Studio gets you the closest to being there Enjoy a superior HD video quality with the LifeCam Studio, which includes a 1080p HD sensor. But great video is about more than HD. Keep your subject crisp with autofocus, from four inches to infinity. Shoot with great accuracy in wide angle with the LifeCam precision glass element lens.

Windows 10 has an app called Camera that lets you use your webcam to record videos and take photos. You can use the Windows 10 Camera app to snap a quick headshot photo for use as an account photo on your computer, Facebook, video calls with Skype, post videos on YouTube, livestream on Facebook and complete a variety of other video-based activities. Connecting a Microsoft LifeCam to your Mac computer sounds like it should be a simple process: plug it into a USB port and go. However, because the LifeCam wasn't designed with Mac users in mind, the two devices aren't compatible out-of-the-box. There are, however, third-party applications to make these two devices get along: Macam and Mactaris.

It seems to me that there are a lot more options for fixing things with a PC than there are with a Mac. It also seems that everything is much more expensive with a Mac than with a PC. And lastly, it seems that Macs are quite touchy about what they will willingly 'play' with. I switched because I have heard so many great things about Macs, and because I wanted to experience them. I was excited to do so, now I'm not so sure I made the right move here.

The pros are that overall? When it works.. it works awesome. Right? I mean, that is why Mac lovers love their Macs. Right? So why such a hard time getting various components gooing? I'm also having issues with a headset/mic combination and with migrating from my PC to my Mini, but I will save those for later postings and concentrate this one on the two issues I have already mentioned above. One being the LifeCam and the other being why is it so difficult to resolve issues with Macs. I only mention these last two issues to verify just how touchy this Mac Mini is.

Thanks for any help you can throw my way..
