Just what I was looking for. Thanks!!

Ahh thank you!
Thank you for your sacrifice.
thanks. I hate that folks take so damn long to get to the point
What the heck still didn’t get it
Yes! This was helpful, thank you! I am about to record me interlocking my hair for my TH-cam channel and I needed to see the back of my head to do it!
AWESOME! I'm an actor who does tons of self tapes and I'm wanting to start using my back iphone camera with a moment lens to record. This was super helpful and I am def going to start doing this. great video.
U just saved my Day bro
Thank. U
So simple!!! THANK YOU!
thank You bro!!!
You save my cash.... Just one step, i could spend my money and buy new mac for this function
Does it work with android phones as well?
OMG, I was searching for something like this for ages!!!! thanks!!
Thank you so much for this video!
hi, I tried it out, but when I use my phone as a camera (and rodepodmic to record sound), quick time records good sound, but phone camera recording is not seen on the Mac screen and video, albeit remains in the phone, does not show up or record on mac. In other words, quick time saves something like a blurry screen. What shall I do about it?
Working perfectly. Thanks buddy!
Glad you liked it
This was SO helpful. Thank you so much!
Which adapter works ?
Any tips on how to link QuickTime to the iPhone camera? It doesn’t pop up automatically for me.
I'm here in 2023. This is a gamechanger. You should have more views. Thisis the only video for this on youtube!!
Thank you :)
VinGin, thank you SOOOOOOOOO MUCH for sharing this information!!! I learned something new today & I have you & TH-cam to thank! 🙏🏾🖤🥰👍🏾💆🏾♀️👏🏾
How do I get it to show the iPhone in landscape?
is it possible to use another iPhone as the viewfinder when recording with another iPhone?
thank you!!!
very fast and useful video man
I'm having trouble finding QuickTime on my MacBook. Where can I find it? Or how can I download it?
This is great man thank you!
Hello, is iPhone 7 and MacBook Pro Sonoma can be compatible with each other for webcam like that?
Hi As in your example, I connected my Iphone 14 pro and my MacBookpro 16 inch 2023 using a lightning cable. If, Is it not possible to have landscape mode on quicktime ?
FABULOUS VIDEO!! Love it!!!
very friggin' helpful !!
A nice tip i have is just to MIRROR (thru screen share) your Iphone into your Macbook! Works like a sharm, supersmooth, wireless
I can't rotate my camera in horizontal as in the video. any tips on how to do it, because once I start recording and I turn my iPhone in horizontal position the view in the quickstart doesn't turn and remains in vertical and this is very uncomfortable.
Same.
you are a saviour.. i was looking for this feature for quite some time
Hey, it's 2021 and in Big Sur I can't record in horizontal mode. Any tips?
Fs, so you have to have the iPhone connected to do this? It’s 2021 when are Apple going to get a grip
Thank you so much , I was like "this guy is so smart" I was amazed , lol
Nice tip, but the new iPhone models don't get rotated to landscape anymore when viewed in QuickTime. Sad.
I'm super sad too. That's what I need!!!!
hi it works on imessage like you said after i reset the phone thank you sooooooo much
THANK YOU!!! This is exactly what I needed and so glad it was a FREE solution!
To get a pro mic (mixer etc.) into the video, you just need to connect an audio interface into your computer. Then choose the audio interface in QuickTime from the drop down box.
3:30 here is the answer
Thank you
I always love seeing someone rocking some old stuff that is still capable in the recent years. You rule!!
how did you flip the screen? Mine is only vertical no option to flip horizontally
your video is awesome , actually I have a iphone 12 pro max an a macbook pro 16" but when I do the same you do in this video, dont let me switch between portrait to landscape. sorry my english are not so good Could you help me
Mine will not rotate either.
I can mirror the screen of my iPhone X, but when I turn my iPhone into landscape mode, the quicktime player doesn't rotate and stays in portrait mode. Why could that be? Can someone please help? It's so frustrating.
pablo I have the same issue!!!
yeah... what is the solution to this issue?
We have the newer iPhone, I just found out after hours of research the newer iPhone doesn't rotate when they are on the home screen or with the camera but if you do texts or safari, it will rotate. If it doesn't after that, try going to the menu on the top right pressing down, and uncheck Portrait Orientation Lock. This locks the orientation in all the apps but again, once you unlock it, it will only work with certain functions like texts or safari :/
IdaP the camera app rotates, and it shoots and saves the images in portrait mode. The problem is, the iPhone x and anything after no longer support the Camera app’s ability to go into portrait mode, but quick time will accept other apps that go into portrait.
Yes, I meant doesn’t rotate when is used with QuickTime player. About the apps is also true but you need to purchase these apps and they can be pricey, there’s not an option for free. I heard Horizon App but it’s doesn’t work with QuickTime player
How did you get the screen to go horizontally on the Macbook? I try to do it and all I am doing is looking at myself sideways? Thanks!
it will only be horisontal if the app you are using is horisontal on the iphone. when I have the camera app, and tip it horisontal while the cable is connected, the image goes horisontal there too. 💚
I turn it horizontal on my phone but it still shows it vertical on the screen...... and also can't get it to go full screen on the mac..
ThatGirlJess I figured it out. You need an app that turns the screen horizontal. The camera on the phone doesn’t do it. So I bought filmic pro and it works like a charm. It’s only $15
and you open that app to record on the iphone?
ThatGirlJess I open the app then open QuickTime on my Mac and as soon as you open QuickTime is gonna ask you if you want to record a new “movie” or you want to mirror you iPhone. Keep in mind that my iPhone is connected to my Mac when I do this. It’s a little confusing but it works. I like that it connected cause there isn’t any lag.
Thank you for the help!
when you rotate the iPhone, the image also rotates in the Quickstart and that doesn't happens in mine. any tips in how to do that?
It works...thank you so much....
wowww this just made my life so much easier. so grateful !
Excellent video, thank you so much!
Thx, it helps a lot!
Thanks for sharing! it helped me!
I been looking for this all over TH-cam! Thank you so much. I broke my Canon T3i and used the EOS software as my view finder on my iMac before. I was hoping something like this existed, that I could use with my iPhone until I purchase a new camera!!! Thank you so much again
happy to help :)
Thank YOUUUUUUUUU!!!!! I am a Zumba Instructor teaching virtually because of Covit19 so this is a perfect solution for my classes.
Oh cool
P.S. thanks again! I saw your pinned comment & learned how to change the camera to landscape mode...such helpful, useful information!😘💋🙏🏾
I love these kinds of solutions... thank you for this video!
Super helpful
Why is this not working for me. I followed the steps but I keep getting the same error message from QuickTime Player: The operation could not be completed ⚠️ Please someone help me. Thanks 🙏
Thanks for this 4 years later 💪
U pretty much saved me money with this tut, thank you!!
Thank you, it was very helpful 🙌🏽
wow this is so cool and helpful thanks man
Can this still be done on 2019 Macbook? I cannot get this to work - No option to select Iphone camera comes up
Try both usb c ports on your mac, for some reason only one works for me
you have to make sure you "trust this device" when you connect your iPhone, then open QuickTime (or reboot QuickTime if you had it open already)
Can I connect my iPhone to my iPad the same way? Just to use my iPad as a view finder for my phone ?
Very helpful video. I can’t wait to try it
Wow, thank you!!! I was out of focus so many times before this video! You are basically my hero lol
Thank you but why my quick time player settings doesn’t show my iPhone camera?
Dude, get to the point man!
Do you say the same thing in the beginning of a movie or a book?
Put the down the redbull. Enjoy the show.
this is a tutorial not a SHOW we aint here for entertainment we want to know HOW and FAST @@TSTechGear
How did you get your iPhone to show up onscreen in landscape mode. Same question as the other people below are asking.
Thank you man !!!
Is it still working until now because in my case I cant find any options in quicktime camera just the facetime built in
Mine will not allow me to record on my phone it has a message come up that says "pause" and "disconnect" everytime I go back to the camera so I can record on my phone it blurrs my quicktime player screeen? I have a 12 Pro iphone and Macbook Air
Thank you for sharing this helpful tip!
Thanks. One question: how come when I put my phone to horizontal, the window on Mac does not tilt? I saw your video it does it automatically. (the horizontal lock on my phone is switched off). Thank you in advance
Han Wang get the „Horizon” app
We have the newer iPhone, I just found out after hours of research the newer iPhone doesn't rotate when they are on the home screen or with the camera but if you do texts or safari, it will rotate. If it doesn't after that, try going to the menu on the top right pressing down, and uncheck Portrait Orientation Lock. This locks the orientation in all the apps but again, once you unlock it, it will only work with certain functions like texts or safari. I tried that Horizon App but if you are trying to use the iPhone/Mac connection as a viewfinder because you are a TH-camr, it won't work through QuickTime Player, it will turn black. The only option is using the front camera but the camera is not as good as the one in the back and it will be hard looking at the camera since is so tiny
@@idapipe sorry on which menu can I change the portrait orientation lock, in the camera?
@@idapipe I juste tried what you wrote, and you are right :'( Lots of app rotate but the caméra doesn't... Sad
This worked perfect! First try. Thanks so much. Simple and effective video.
GLAD you liked it. :)
hi ya it. still doesnt correct the image to landscape do you have an alternative
The man's a genius
Bro you're life saver
Hi great video! What if my iphone is not showing up tho when I go to connect it to my laptop????????/
Dude you have made the most useful video ever.
Thank you so much!!!
I wish I could like this video more than once. Thank you so much for this amazing tip, I've been looking for this for so long!!!
This didn’t work for me
There was no option to select my iPhone in QuickTime. Any advice?
Can this be done with iPhone to iPad
This plus the horizon app ( to show in landscape mode) is absolutely perfect
is it called horizon camera and it has an orange logo on the app store???
Umm Question. My iPhone doesn’t pop up. Would the iPhone XR work?
And can it work wireless?
You save my day!!! Thank you, so much!!! 🤗
Thank you this is so helpful
does anyone know about any app camera without anything in the background? just the video image?
Thank you so so much for this! I actually used this because there was a cut on my scalp I couldn’t see or take a photo of so I ended up using this 😂
You saved my life, thanks for the video mate!
Will definitely try later from pc. Let’s see if it works! Thanks
You are a life saver! Thank you so much for this!
How did you get the camera to turn sideways mine on my laptop won’t go sideways it just stays vertical
I have the same issue! 😭😭😭
before you connect the lightning cable make sure you have the phone in the orientation you want it. Also, make sure you've unlocked the "lock orientation" (next to the do not disturb icon in the quick menu)
when i go to choose the new device, my phone doesn’t show up :/
Use a different USB port for your computer if you have two (for some reason that worked for me)
Same happened to me. I closed TH-cam and followed the instructions. My iPhone appeared under the record button. Hope this helps... a year later lol
wow awesome, that was a hidden gem!! thanks for this video!! 😀😀👍👍
Can you do this wireless?
Very useful option, it works really good. Thanks! Is there also an option to do this wireless?
I tried doing it but the Quicktime collapses every time. I use an iphone XR and a macbook air 2020. help!
Is this still relevant? I tried yesterday and QuickTime wouldn’t go landscape...
Loved this video and very helpful - thank you
Glad you liked it :)
GENIUS THANK YOU!
