Use a Third-Party App:

Googling this, you'll need a third-party app. It is not a built in feature of an iPad. can you use iPad for external camera for a mac

You can use an iPad as a webcam for an Apple TV set-top box – but apparently not as a webcam for a Mac, if you are using just the built-in software.


For FaceTime calls, an alternative might be to place those from the iPad Pro itself.
