Logitech C910 webcam El Capitan compatability?

Solution 1:

Fortunately, there is another trick that seems to fix the problem immediately using a command line force quit, and does not require a reboot:

  • Quit all open apps that may try to use the camera

  • Open Terminal, found in the /Applications/Utilities directory in OS X

  • Enter the following command strings exactly, then hit return:

      sudo killall VDCAssistant
    
  • Still at the terminal, issue the following command as well:

      sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant
    
  • Relaunch the app that was attempting to use the camera

Solution 2:

I had the same issue with a C920, it kinda works but doesn't quite 'fit' into the OS. Logitech didn't seem to offer any support for it at all.

I got round it using an intermediary app called Webcam Settings [$7.99/£5.99] which essentially turned it into a useful camera again.
