MacOS Sonoma (14.1) no longer recognizes NDI Tools as a virtual camera
After updating to MacOS Sonoma, you may notice that Virtual Input or NDI Webcam is no longer a recognized source as a webcam in your software. The issue is Apple has turned off a feature called "legacy camera support" and it can be re-enabled in Recovery Mode by following these steps from Apple:

When you restore these legacy settings, the camera privacy indicator won't display in the menu bar while a camera with older software is in use.
- Restart your Mac into Recovery Mode:
- Click the Options button, then click Continue.
- From the Utilities menu, choose Terminal.
- Enter this command:
system-override legacy-camera-plugins-without-sw-camera-indication=on
- Press Return. Depending on your system configuration, you might be prompted to complete additional steps.
- Quit Terminal.
- From the Apple menu, choose Restart.
To change back to the default settings, follow the steps again and enter this command:
system-override legacy-camera-plugins-without-sw-camera-indication=off
