Cannot work with Video Camera after upgrade to Flash Player 11

The latest flash play doesn't work well with the video camera on my Mac. I can't use Google Talk or Google+ Hangout now. The camera can work well with Skype, so it should be the problem related to Flash Player.

Anyone have similiar issue? Any fix?

I have the same issue and utltimately reverted back to 10.3 which works fine.

No matter what I did my video camera (built in isight) on macbook pro 2007 never turned on. Even though it asks me for permission to use it and I allow it too.

Here's what I tried:

1. Uninstall 10.3

2. Install 11

3. Uninstalling the Google Talk plugin (I saw posts on the net about a possible issues..but i never had this with 10.3)

4. Rebooting

Still nothing..black screen and no cam access.

I always use http://www.koowy.com for video cam conferences and had to go back to 10.3 to get my cam to work. I reinstalled Google Talk plugin and it all works fine with 10.3

Hopefully, this is a known issue and will be fixed.

I'm on OS X Lion, MacBook Pro (2007), Both FireFox 7 and Chrome and Safari 5.1 are effected.

Hi,

     Can you provide me your exact details for the MacBook Pro model that you own?  You can get this info by clicking on the Apple logo and going to "About this Mac".  I'm thinking that this problem is only affecting certain Macs possibly.
