Hi all, I’m having an issue with the media player in unreal engine 5.3. There seems to be a permission description missing in the unrealeditor application as well as the debug application. See the below lines of code. They need to be added. Also when I do this, the error goes from missing description to denied. It never asks for permission. I had this working in 5.2, but something changed in 5.3. Also has anyone been able to use a capture device for a camera other than the built in webcam on a Mac?

NSMicrophoneUsageDescription

UnrealEditor requires microphone access for media capture

NSCameraUsageDescription

UnrealEditor requires camera access for media capture

Did you ever figure this out?

I’m trying to figure out how to edit mac plist or change permissions for mac in editor or via plugin or some means.

I am also having this problem - it seems the right command is in the plist but it still doesn’t work. I really need to be able to access my microphone and am very stuck on this now! If anyone has any pointers that would be much appreciated, thanks

Any updates on how to get the editor to request and show up in macos privacy for microphone access?
