How to use your iPhone as a webcam for Mac with Continuity Camera

Cam shows you how to set your iPhone up as a wireless webcam for your Mac, no additional apps required! It's simple to do, and a bit of a lifesaver (if you're fed up with your Mac's terrible camera).

This was very helpful. Thank you!

[@GigLife]

Thank you..THIS WAS THE MOST HELPFUL VIDEO!! Having my iPhone stable was why I was not able to make this work!

[@pocketlintcom]

Glad it helped!

[@amiteshshukla992]

It was super helpful thanks so much

[@UKG-Midnight]

Useful to know. Thanks.

[@liamburke9869]

Great Video. Nice and simple, love your way of explaining how things work. :)

[@videolikeadad]

Thanks for the great overview! How can I keep it from mirroring the iPhone image so that words appear normal?

[@carlosprovyrivera8522]

Thx for the excellent overview. Is there a reason I can only record video at 720p within QuickTime? I'm using an iPhone 13 pro max with a MacBook Air M1.

[@asirus]

I wasted time on another video where they neglected to mention the crucial step of keeping the phone locked!! Thank you very much. I'm all sorted now. 😊💜

[@pocketlintcom]

You're welcome!

[@garyroxene]

So great. nice addition. but. is it possible to use the iPhone screen rather than the Mac screen for taking stills (like for eBay)? XS Max / 2019 iMac i9

[@uzzahmusic7475]

Hi - Is there a way to do this with MacOS Sonoma on a Mac Mini?

[@onthewavelength]

Nice video! Do you know if it's possible to Zoom in / out when using continuity camera (but not in desktop mode)?

[@dmcwrshpldr]

Did you get an answer to this question? I am wondering the same thing. I would like to be able to zoom in and out.

[@PCSingToSanAntonio]

how do you the full screen without the phone log?

[@youtubelearning2990]

You didn't show us how to enable it on the Mac?

[@francescolucidi8985]

It doesn't work for me but I don't have support for my iphone, does it means? Thanks

[@gotthegoods]

I have brand new everything and none of this works.

[@kevinpinball]

this does not work.
I have a M2 and iPhone 13 Pro.
Does not work.
Do I need another webcam plugged in as well?

[@animegersub4657]

same issue here!
what helped me was that I plugged my iPhone with the lightning cable to the Mac mini

[@kevinpinball]

@@animegersub4657 I eneded up attaching a remote camera, and now my iPhone is an option.

[@MaxStArlyn]

how about iPad instead of your iPhone?
