Hi @bmdev88, I've got the same setup as you (camera + osx), in CamTwist I can select the camera, also in Zoom, but in Teams I cannot..

I didn't had any problem until yesterday, when I updated to Big Sur 11.3.1.
Camera live does recognize the camera properly, but the syphon server is not available anymore to CamTwist.

I did reinstall the latest (alpha 13) Camera Live and the latest CamTwist with no avail.

I'll try recompile the app, using the latest syphon server wich works. To see if that solves the issue.

TLDR: Works for me in 11.5.1.

I had been putting off my upgrade to Big Sur exactly because of uncertainties around Camera Live and CamTwist issues. Today I took the leap, and to my surprise my setup with an old Canon EOS 550D, Camera Live, and CamTwist worked without any changes whatsoever! So far I've tested Microsoft Teams (works), Zoom (works), Signal (works) and Facetime (didn't work in Catalina, still doesn't see CamTwist).

I have built Camera Live myself, though, from the branch https://github.com/rickardraysearch/v002-Camera-Live/tree/rickardraysearch/isospeedmenu , but that really shouldn't make a difference.
