macOS Catalina, Microsoft Teams, and Virtual Webcam (EpocCamHD)

How to get EpocCamHD (or other virtual cameras) working with Teams on macOS

First, how I got started down the right path:
  • Running teams from the Terminal gives more information:
    • Cd /Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/MacOS
    • .\Teams
    • Find error that:
      • /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/EpocCamPlugIn.plugin/Contents/MacOS/EpocCamPlugIn: code signature in (/Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/EpocCamPlugIn.plugin/Contents/MacOS/EpocCamPlugIn) not valid for use in process using Library Validation: mapping process and mapped file (non-platform) have different Team IDs
      • /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/EpocCamPlugIn.plugin/Contents/MacOS/    EpocCamPlugIn: stat() failed with errno=1
Remove the code signing from the app and its helper and then it will work
****NOTE: This IS removing a security check so proceed at your own risk


  • Open terminal with an administrative account then run these three commands separately
    • sudo codesign --remove-signature /Applications/Microsoft\ Teams.app

    • sudo codesign --remove-signature /Applications/Microsoft\ Teams.app/Contents/MacOS/Teams

    • sudo codesign --remove-signature /Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/Frameworks/Microsoft\ Teams\ Helper.app
