FaceTime issues M2 MacBook Air when rotating camera

[bronksy]

Weird things happening when I click the little 'rotate' to change the camera position from portrait to landscape on my FaceTime on the M2 air.
My preview window blurs and I can't get my camera back unless I restart FaceTime. Looks like it's gone to a 'pause' mode but can't get the image back of my camera.

Anyone else have this issue? It's really bizarre.

It doesn't happen on mine. Did you try with a different person on FaceTime?

That's a good point - I will try but not sure why that makes a difference as to who it is calling?

Confirm you clicking this button?

Yes - in a call.. I click this.. the rotation changes and the camera image blurs out and freezes in the preview window.

Weird. I have no ideas. Sorry.

I'm not sure, maybe the other person has some old ios or macOS that cannot deal well with rotation? Just a wild guess 😊

This is happening on my brand new MacBook Pro 2021 M1 Pro 16 inch 16GB 1TB. Initially solved by deleting the Facetime preference file. Since then I've clean installed Monterey but this solution doesn't work any more. Calling the same person too so can't be their device causing the issues.
