Expected Behavior
"Virtual Camera" on Mac can work.
Current Behavior
When click "Start Virtual Camera", it alerted "Could not find virtual camera.".
But I am very sure I have authorized OBS virtual camera.
I run the command "systemextensionsctl list", the results includes obs as below:
* * 2MMRE5MTB8 com.obsproject.obs-studio.mac-camera-extension (30.0.0/6829539522) com.obsproject.obs-studio.mac-camera-extension [activated enabled]
Steps to Reproduce
- Click "Start Virtual Camera"
- It alerted "Counld not find virtual camera" sometime.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked OBS Studio log and reproducing the intermittent failure with “Start Virtual Camera” on macOS 14. Check the reported systemextensionsctl status for the OBS camera extension and compare successful and failed runs. Done means the virtual camera starts reliably without the “Could not find virtual camera” alert.
