Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming macOS Sonoma 14.2 update to developers for testing purposes, with the software coming a day after the release of macOS Sonoma 14.1.

Registered developers can opt-in to the beta through the Software Update section of the System Settings app. Under Beta updates, toggle on the Sonoma Developer Beta. Note that an Apple ID associated with an Apple Developer account is required to get the beta.

There is no word on what's new in the macOS Sonoma 14.2 beta, but we'll update this article when we find out what's been added.

The 1Password extension for Safari seems to be broken with 17.2 beta. I've reported this to 1Password.

Does this have the new Journal app like iOS beta does? And if so is their an import function for DayOne where most all existing users would be transitioning from?

Damn, thanks, man! If that works, I owe you lunch! Im trying it now.

Update: It worked after a little extra step - I had to switch off HDD encryption using terminal and I am happy to report that my Canon camera works again!! Thanks so much for the tip @Realityck

This update killed my OBS & EOS Webcam Utility Pro, and I cannot use external cameras. I wonder if any of you had this issue? Downgrading is kinda complex ;)

[HEADING=1]How to restore legacy video device support in macOS Sonoma[/HEADING]
Restoring legacy webcam support will allow your older device to work, but the green privacy indicator won't appear when it is in use.
[LIST=1]
* Shut down your Mac.
* Start up in Recovery Mode. This is done on Apple Silicon Macs by holding down the power button and on Intel Macs by pressing Command-R while turning the Mac on.
* Click the Options button, then Continue.
* Select the Utilities menu, then Terminal
* Enter the command: system-override legacy-camera-plugins-without-sw-camera-indication=on
* Press Return and complete any additional steps if prompted.
* Quite Terminal
* Go to the Apple menu and select Restart.

After the Mac restarts, a warning will appear in System Settings. Go to Privacy &. Security and select Camera.
If legacy video support has been successfully restored, a warning about the green dot not appearing in the menu bar will appear. That means your outdated webcam should now work on your Mac running macOS Sonoma 14.1.
