  • Initially I could not figure out why the continuity camera will connect using a cable but won't connect wirelessly to my Mac mini. it turned out the way it works is rather simple and a little silly looking back.

    You didn't actually show how to connect. You just said "hey, look guys i did it" your just showing that it works without actually explaining how it works.
    Its like teaching someone how to bake a cake, but the cake is already done, and telling them...and thats how you do it!!! XDXD

    The key is to be in Landscape and not moving. 'Note: In order to use your iPhone as a microphone on a Mac without a built-in camera, the iPhone must be in landscape orientation, stationary, and locked.'

    OMG! this thing was driving me nuts. It has to be held upright in landscape mode, mimicking being mounted on the monitor. It will never work laying flat on the desk.

    I kept getting prompts to use my iPhone for a webcam which I ignored. But I realize my M2 Mini does not like my Logitech 920 camera. So as I was looking for webcams that would work with M2 Mini I found your very helpful video. Thanks brother.

    I had to connect my iphone to the mac mini with a usbc cable first. Run and close the zoom app. Then it works wirelessly without any issues.

    您之前用有线摄像头链接过Macmini吗?我的iphone14系统是最新的,macmini也是m2版本,尝试了用USB线连接掉用不了iphone的摄像头,用了你的方法也不行。所以我设想正确步骤应该是,先用外置摄像头链接macmini然后打开facetime,这样的话用usb线或用无线(您的方法)以后,就可以使用了。可惜我身边现在没有摄像头,没法尝试。

      Have your iPhone locked, on the same Wi-Fi network, place it securely near the Mac, and it should connect wirelessly.

    the fix is you have to have the phone locked before you start up zoom.

      I find it’ll still work even after you start up zoom or FaceTime. Just lock the phone and place it near the Mac.
