jmmsas I am having the exact same issue and the M1 point doesnt totally make sense as it worked fine in early Dec while I was using an M1 mac.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

thanks.

    hughwellman It is not just an M1 problem. I can confirm this. I have a 2019 16" almost maxed out (i9, 32GB Ram, 8GB Video, 2TB) which is why I didn't upgrade to the M1, still waiting on M1 Max to get here. 

    Starting recently video is choppy. I found that if I open a secondary app that uses the camera, like OBS, the video gets smooth, even if I don't switch the device input to OBS cam.

      Xials I have the same!

       

      The issues started only a couple of weeks ago, I use USB video. And exactly (!) what you said, if I open quicktime in a window using the camera, without even recording, just in the background, it's suddenly smooth.
