Issue with MacBook Pro webcam not working or displaying a distorted screen.
You're experiencing image distortion from your webcam on your MacBook Pro, especially after installing a driver for the GoPro camera. The issue seems to be related to the driver itself or its compatibility with your system. Since uninstalling the driver didn't help, you might want to try these steps:
- Check if other applications also show similar issues—this could indicate a broader driver conflict.
- Update your macOS High Sierra to the latest version (if possible) to ensure compatibility.
- Test the webcam in a different application or browser to see if the problem persists.
- Contact GoPro support for further assistance, as they may have specific fixes for their drivers.
My initial thought is it might not be completely resolved. Certain hardware drivers require a kernel extension, which could be the issue. Try this command in the Terminal app: run kextstat | grep -v com.apple. You can also use AppCleaner to confirm all GoPro Webcam driver components are removed.
