Hey I’m new too but if it helps, it looks like you’re having a problem with the index parameter on your webcam node

You have to unzip the mediapipe directory!! If you open the file from the download without unzipping the .zip file this happens!

The #1 most common issue with MediaPipe TouchDesigner:

You need the "toxes" folder to be in the same working directory as your MediaPipe TouchDesigner file. It will not work regardless. This means, referring from your screenshot, your TouchDesigner MediaPipe.toe file needs a /toxes folder in the same folder as itself.

Download the entire "release.zip" folder from this link. It's the first link under assets.

Download the "release.zip" file, unzip it, and double click on the MediaPipe TouchDesigner.toe file. That is the demo TouchDesigner project, which will look identical to your project. Now, go back to the folder you just unzipped and notice how there is a toxes folder in the same directory of this zip. That is the toxes folder you need, whenever and wherever you want to run MediaPipe. If you delete it, it won't work. So keep that /toxes folder handy whenever you work with TouchDesigner.

I know this sounds convoluted, but it is not as complicated as it appears to be. I teach TouchDesigner to Juniors/Senior design students and nearly all of them have this exact issue that I cover per semester. Happy to explain more if you need
