As early as Chrome 145, Chrome will remove support for obsolete virtual cameras for all macOS releases that it supports. On macOS, modern virtual cameras are built using the [Core Media IO](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coremediaio) framework, which has been available since macOS 12.3. Apple has performed outreach, and all modern virtual camera software has been migrated to use this [Core Media IO framework](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10022/). Obsolete virtual cameras, built as DAL plugins, have been blocked by macOS itself starting with macOS 14.1 (2023), and have been unsupported in Safari since 2018, if not earlier. Chrome will remove support for obsolete virtual cameras for all macOS releases that it supports. This allows Chrome to improve security by fully disallowing loading of third-party libraries into Chrome processes.
