!DisableCameraDAL
DisableCameraDAL is a virtual camera component for macOS that integrates with CoreMediaIO, the system-level media input/output framework. It is part of Parallels Desktop, the commercial desktop virtualization software that lets Mac users run Windows and Linux virtual machines. This component manages camera access control when Parallels virtual machines are running, allowing the hypervisor to intercept and route camera streams appropriately between the host Mac and guest operating systems.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionDisableCameraDAL is a system component bundled within Parallels Desktop, not a standalone application that can be updated separately. Camera access and CoreMediaIO integration are updated when you update Parallels Desktop itself. To ensure the component is running on native Apple Silicon code, you must update to the latest version of Parallels Desktop from Parallels' official website or through Parallels' update mechanism (Help → Check for Updates within the Parallels application). Parallels Desktop has shipped native Apple Silicon support since version 16, released in late 2020, so if you are running an older Intel-only build of Parallels, a full update will bring the native version and its embedded components, including DisableCameraDAL. Check Parallels' website for the current version and download the installer for your Mac architecture, or use the built-in updater to pull the latest build.
