Studio Display camera zoom broken after updating to Tahoe

Since updating to Tahoe, I’ve had an issue with the Studio Display camera.

Normally, when Center Stage is turned off, I can reposition the image and use the zoom control so my appearance looks the way I want it to. However, since the update, the zoom slider is visible (and moves showing 0.5x etc.) but changing doesn’t seem to do anything. The image just stays fixed, and I can’t adjust the framing as before.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a known bug with Tahoe, or is there a workaround I’m missing?

Happened to me as well. Tried restarting the Mac, but it didn't work. Simply unplugging Studio Display and plugging it back after 1 minute solved the issue.

Amazing! Thanks.

Good old tech support advice "Switch it off and switch it back on again"ˆ. Never fails - I should have thought to try it.🤪

For me, this only works until I next restart my Mac. Then the camera controls stop working again, until I unplug the Studio Display and plug it back in again. I suppose not the end of the world, but still really annoying and hope it's fixed in 26.1. Is this the same for others?
 
Make sure to file a Feedback report. I know, engineers look at these. I have received multiple responses for different reports, asking for more info or telling me when the issues were fixed.
 
There's always been a long time bug where the zoom does not work properly on Studio Displays when using 3rd party video apps/browsers, so it may be that's still present in Tahoe.
If you're not using Facetime as your app you have to open Facetime, adjust your zoom with that open and it then applies to any other apps using video
 
Thank you, but I have this problem with all video apps, including FaceTime. Prior to macOS 26 Tahoe, there was never a problem for me.
