I wasn't talking about mcz packages. The Etoys 5 image does already have the WebCamMorph (otherwise the camera wouldn't work on your Mac either).

I was talking about the new CameraPlugin it needs. If that is not yet installed, you may steal it from the Scratch activity.

Alternatively, you can use the old VideoCamera morph, which works only on Linux, not cross-platform. Find it in the object catalog's alphabetical list. This is what we used on the XO before Etoys 5. It uses the VideoForLinuxPlugin, which is pre-installed for sure.
