At some point this year I noticed that my camera was not working. (Skype, Google, Facetime)
I tried this https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2090
But under devices for Camera it says no devices found.
Mac OS 10.10.4

You mean in the About this Mac it does not show it ? FaceTime HD Camera (Built-in):– RuskesCommented Aug 1, 2015 at 16:48

Probably it's broken or internally disconnected.– mspasovCommented Aug 1, 2015 at 18:09

@Buscar웃 yes this is correct, it does not show any hardware. It is a 2012 Macbook Pro 13"– brentwpetersonCommented Aug 1, 2015 at 21:17

Open system profiler/system information form the utilities folder (in the applications folder). Under hardware there should be a category "camera". Does it show you anything there?– Kevin GrabherCommented Aug 1, 2015 at 22:35

It might be some VDCAssistant programs using it.
Try this ,Open a terminal window and type the command below.
sudo killall VDCAssistant
This will kill all other programs and you will be able to use your camera again.
