Looking to use your iPhone as a webcam with your Mac? That’s where Continuity Camera comes in. It’s a handy feature that lets you easily switch your iPhone into a webcam to improve your video calls.
First, make sure your iPhone and Mac are both running the latest software updates. Then, check that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are turned on for both devices, and they’re signed into the same Apple ID with two-factor authentication enabled.
Next, position your iPhone in a good spot where it can capture your face clearly. You can use a tripod or any stable surface. Your iPhone should also be close enough to your Mac to connect smoothly.
Now, open the app you want to use for a video call, like FaceTime, Zoom, or Teams. When you select your camera, choose your iPhone from the list of available cameras. If everything goes right, your iPhone’s camera feed should show up.
As for Siri, you might wonder if you can control this setup with voice commands. While Siri can do many things, controlling Continuity Camera directly isn’t fully supported yet. But with some quick manual steps, your iPhone will turn into a great webcam, saving you the hassle of extra equipment.
Remember, using your iPhone as a webcam through Continuity Camera is a simple, reliable way to boost your video quality without buying a separate device. Just set it up once, and you’ll be good to go for all your video calls!
