Indeed, two distinct bugs have particularly annoyed users in recent days, since they have been the cause of many untimely crashes of the application, which is moreover by carrying out recurring actions for certain users.

The former were caused by streaming video from a third-party device, such as a webcam, specifically on Macs running OS X 10.12 to OS X 10.14.
