Where is the camera extension in Mac settings?
Short answer: don't go hunting for it. Let FaceReady take you straight there.
Use the button — it's the fast way
FaceReady shows an "Open System Settings" button right when you need it. Click it and macOS opens on the exact page — Login Items & Extensions — with nothing to scroll for.
- Click Open System Settings in FaceReady.
- Flip the FaceReady switch on.
That's it. FaceReady notices the moment you switch it on and carries on by itself — no restart, no digging through menus.
macOS might just call it "FaceReady"
You won't always see a separate "Camera Extensions" heading. Depending on your macOS version, FaceReady can show up by name in the Login Items & Extensions list. If you see a FaceReady switch, that's the one — switch it on.
Why macOS asks at all
macOS won't let any app add a camera to your Mac without you approving it once yourself. It's the same one-time security step every camera app goes through, and it's there to keep cameras off your Mac unless you put them there. Do it once and you never think about it again.
