If you copy the FaceTime app and save it with a different name ("FaceTime copy") you can run that and it will let you pick any webcam, even virtual ones.
If you do this you need to remake the copy whenever the OS update or else Spotlight will crash whenever your phone rings. (took me awhile to figure that one out)
I don't know whether or not this will get the Sony driver working. Obviously it would be better if it just worked like any other USB webcam.

- floatingatoll 6y agoThat’s a bug worth reporting - it shouldn’t crash, and it’s trivial to accidentally duplicate an app!
- evan_ 6y agoHm, I would report it but I’d be afraid they’d “fix” the copied app workaround as well. I suspect it crashes because Handoff tries to start the last FaceTime binary I used, but some kind of signature has changed so it kills it immediately. I’m not sure why it’s spotlight that crashes except that maybe its index is used to launch the last FaceTime I used?
