Most telepresence solutions will allow you to broadcast video via a camera connected to your computer. For MacBooks and iMacs, these cameras are built-in to the computer. When using an application that has access to your camera, you may be prompted to provide consent for the application to use the camera. You can find some instructions on using the privacy controls for your camera in MacOS here.
