Continuity Camera: Use iPhone as a webcam for Mac mini?
I've followed all the instructions and system requirements but can't get this to work.
if Mac Mini is attached to a monitor without a built-in webcam, is it possible to use the iPhone as the webcam???
thank you.
iPhone 11, iOS 16
I have a 2018 Mac mini with a monitor without a webcam and the iPhone is detected as a Continuity Camera automatically.
For example, FaceTime shows the iPhone's rear camera. The iPhone's screen shows a notification stating that the camera is connected.

This is the craziest thing. The only way my M1 Mac mini will recognize my iPhone 13 Pro Max wirelessly as a web cam, is if I also have another web cam plugged directly into the Mini via USB. Without the secondary unused webcam plugged in via USB, the iPhone is only recognized as a continuity camera when plugged into the Mac Mini with a lightning cable. This is messed up. Anyone have a solution to this?
I got it to work by hooking up an old web cam via USB and then selecting the iPhone from the drop down. I was hoping that Apple would have fixed this on the last update, but I was wrong. This is my 3rd Mini and it seems like it get very little attention from Apple when it comes to Mac Mini issues
Interesting, that is good to know that it is supposed to work. I will have to review all req's again to see why it isn't working for me.
I have a Mac Mini M1 with 16Gbs and I cannot get Continuity to recognize my iPhone 13 Pro. I've tried with and without a lighting cable. The iPhone doesn't even show up as a choice.
I have a Mac Mini M1 also, and an iPhone 11. can't get it to work. both of course upgraded to latest OS.
