Quicktime and iphone

Attaching an iPhone 11 to a MacBook Pro, Big Sur Ver 11.6.4, I cannot get Quicktime to display video from the iPhone attached with a USB cable.

I've tried "New Recording" in Quicktime, but it doesn't drop a menu to select any device, but displays the integrated camera in my MacBook.

Supposedly Quicktime will display live video from my iPhone when attached via USB.

There are many other utility programs that say they can fulfill this function, but I'm not warm to downloading a paid program for something my Apple devices should do.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Open the iPhone Camera app
Open QuickTime Player. Select New Movie Recording. Use the small downward arrow right next to the red Record button, to select a different camera input.
When recording through QuickTime, the iPhone’s on-screen controls are included. To avoid that, use third party apps instead of the Camera app.
