    Removing that adhesive strip from the MacBook screen could become problematic, as it could cause stress to the lcd, cracks to the glass, and bending to the metal. Also having that lump stuck to your screen kind of ruins the whole aesthetic of the MacBook vibe. I would invest in a small desk tripod of some sort.

    The fact that camo tried to put 1080p behind a paywall is hilarious, they said “no 720p” but it is locked to 720p until you pay for 1080p and other features. But now with continuity camera not only it is free but it has 1080p free also it’s wireless.

      Any Mac compatible with macOS Ventura or later:
      • MacBook introduced in 2017 or later
      • MacBook Pro introduced in 2017 or later
      • MacBook Air introduced in 2018 or later

      • iMac Pro
      • Mac Pro introduced in 2019 or later
      • Mac Studio
      3. Both devices must be logged into the same Apple ID
      4. Initial connection "for the day" needs to use bluetooth. After initial connection, bluetooth does not to be on.
      5. On iPhone, Handoff and Continuity Camera need to be turned on, in Settings : General : AirPlay & Handoff
      6. An application must be running on your Mac, such as Zoom, OBS, Photobooth, Skype, Facetime, Quicktime, etc in order to select the iPhone as a camera source and use it thereafter. 7. Only one Continuity Camera can be used on one computer/Apple ID at a time...

    A question and solution regarding webcam on iPad Pro ... Apple has unfortunately still not managed on the new iPad Pro 6th generation to position the camera in landscape mode. If that does not work because of the magnetic holder of the pen, they could certainly make it possible, for example, a Belkin iPhone Mount with MagSafe for iPad's to make that one simply hangs the iPhone on the Magic Keyboard and iPad as it is possible with the MacBook Air and you can use the iPhone as a reasonable Wifi webcam for iPad's Pro, software-wise they could certainly get it done with iOS and would be a solution for everything. Why does Apple suppress it for years that they do not offer external webcam solutions to connect to the iPad?
