How to use your iPhone as a webcam with your Mac

Apple ’s Continuity Camera allows users to turn their iPhone into a high-quality webcam for Mac .

Using your iPhone as a webcam can provide a sharper image, better low-light performance and useful extras like Center Stage and Desk View.

It works natively in macOS, so it's easy to set up.

Continuity Camera only takes over as the default when an iPhone is detected and selected.

Most popular video conferencing and streaming apps on Mac support it without any extra setup.

If you want to return to using your Mac ’s built-in webcam or switch to another device, simply change the input source in your app's settings.

To avoid interruptions during longer calls or recordings, consider connecting the iPhone to power while it's in use.
