Got it up and running on my mid-2010 Mac Pro (Mojave). Using my M50. Really easy.

Not so good that it doesn't work with the native apps. I wonder if that's something they are working on or if there is some software/security issue that is preventing that? It seems odd as the camera essential becomes a web cam so what's the difference?

Would be great if they can get that sorted.

I’m guessing it’s some sort of security thing built into macOS (some aspect of SIP, maybe?), because it’s like that in Mojave and Catalina, but in High Sierra (the version before Mojave), it’s the other way around: it works with native apps but not with Chrome.
