How to use your iPhone as a Webcam

[@ExpHosed_]

How to use your iPhone with a MAC. Change the title, its useless for everyone else.

[@pwmsensitive]

True. Android 14 allows the usage on PC and MAC via the new 'Device as a Webcam' feature!

[@Nirvanablue89]

You mad bro?

[@rugaothegreat]

All for the clicks

[@jimmydeeTV]

@@Nirvanablue89 yeah i am bro, im trying to record shiii

[@sihlengobese]

Does this work for StreamYard?

[@TheDanielduong]

Can you use the iPhone camera as a webcam for an iPad?

[@charlypache32]

It worked the first time, windows poped-up to request access but since it doesn't work anymore automatically and your video doesn't show how to configure it manually if the window showed at 2:12 doesn't list the iPhone.

[@jamesjackson5546]

Can I do that for the the iPad instead of Mac?

[@landismaitland-whitelaw5040]

I have a new Mac Studio and an iPhone 13. my monitor does not have a camera and I have followed the directions to set up my iPhone and it just do not work... any suggestions?

[@canartsan4266]

Same hardware I have, and mine doesn't work either. It's super simple, just doesn't work.

[@pocketski]

glass surroundings is not the sensor/lens size

[@Promoshamtoo]

Where does the memory go to my phone or the Mac after recording a webcam video

[@oscarsheen3045]

Wonder if my iphone can do this on windows? Good video!

[@pwmsensitive]

Not possible. The native webcam feature of Android 14 supports MAC and PC!

[@BajoBobby]

Do the devices NEED to be on the same Apple ID?

[@reaccionapuertorico]

yes

[@pritamchougale]

does this need to have both mac and iPhone on same wifi network?

[@nthused]

I’ve been looking forward to this working on the AppleTV…large family in other parts of the country and we’d LOVE to use this to see them all on our TV vs. iPad. Thank you so much for the video! Is there something special about the Belkin or other mounts? Or can any stable mount work? For instance…a tripod? Thank you!

[@6MonthsLater]

Any stable mount will work, but the Belkin ones were designed in conjunction with Apple specifically for MacBooks and Apple Displays. Because of that and they work quite well, that’s why I recommend them - Josh

[@Prishacraftstudio]

sir can i use iphone as webcam with window 11 without 3rd party app pls reply

[@artantme]

where is the vertical orientation?

[@RodoPet]

Hey, couple of questions: - is there a way to crop/zoom in/change lens? According to my researches it’s still not available… - do you have a light recommendation to pair? Thanks, great content as usual: structured, clean, to the point. Keep it up :)

[@6MonthsLater]

Center Stage will crop in the camera automatically but you don’t yet have manual control. Yes for lights, in general anything made by Aputure would be a good choice. You’ll want some soft diffused light. And of course, glad you enjoyed it! - Josh

[@Criticalmaze]

@@6MonthsLaterCan i use continuety cam with iPhone to pc?

[@Criticalmaze]

@@dump7055 lol I found this out

[@ElParacletoPodcast]

Thanks, for the video, but there is another little problem with using the iPhone as a webcam, there is no way to control zoom, or color correction, I've not found yet a way to zoom in, if anyone knows of a way, please share it. Thanks

[@CaptainCaveman782]

Can I do this with Ipad and IPhone only? I need to use an piano demonstration so IPad and iPhone necessary to attach to tripods

[@Ton369]

Does this work with Windows 11

[@LearnAudacity]

Hello, I’m not seeing the video effects you showed. Also, the video is fish-eyed. Have you experienced this? I have an iPhone 14 Pro and an M1 MacBook Pro. I’m wondering if there’s an issue with Sonoma OS 14.3.

[@fightingmink]

the actual sensor size is the same

[@MarkBurdickPhD]

All I want for Christmas is to keep an unused iphone 16 straddled to the LG with the Belkin adaptor for continuity camera sake and call it good. Will that work to resolve my issue of having a designated camera device to answer when my grand daughter calls? 😢😅

[@6MonthsLater]

It should, yes!

[@tamwilfred]

Do mean this Christmas? The iPhone 15 just came out. You'll have to wait next year for that iPhone 16 then.

[@campar1043]

does this work for youtube?

[@TradeFly]

It works pretty well. My experience is that my elgato webcam maintains frame-rate better but the iPhone has a much better overall image. The other downside is that it not as customizable in terms of color, saturation and brightness levels. So def some pros and cons but it’s my go to for travel.

[@everythingvideos24]

I think it's stupid we have to have our IPhones plugged into a Mac Mini for us to use our Camera but on our MacBook Pro's we don't.

[@truthtable888]

Can I use an iPhone as my microphone as well? I am connecting my MacBook to my monitor and keeping the lid closed. I have an upcoming interview and I don't want to use my MacBook's microphone, as it might make the sound muffled.

[@DaniDosSantos]

Yes you can!

[@cameronisaacjohnson7459]

So you need the Belkin clip to use this feature

[@supremeasura3358]

no you don't as long as the phone is in landscape mode and stable

[@thesaluman]

UPDATE: Don't update to Apple Sonoma 14.4 on Macbook M3 anyways.. current bug not allowing webcam to function and disabled continuity cam as well as of 3/13/24

[@Mariano2077]

i wish i had a MacBook to do this stuff

[@CRANEREVIEWS]

I love how tech KZbinrs push that raw $300 webcam that struggles to work when we have this (and well Android had webcam apps for ever, maybe not as good, but still)

[@tamwilfred]

Businesses can make money off people's ignorance. The average consumer isn't as tech savvy to try and research other products and services that are available to them. Start pumping out advertisements and watch sales grow.

[@drinkingwithyourdad2994]

It just doesnt work smh.

[@mikepowtv]

if yall do this you can set your phone up to your computer so you can respond to your notifications on your phone

[@Gem_FN]

5:01

[@eotikurac]

just use your 2000 dollar phone as a webcam because the camera on your 2000 dollar monitor is crap. makes perfect sense. all you need now is a second phone.

[@Gem_FN]

5:1

[@VincentAicardiGuitare]

Does not work, build a better step by step.

[@jimjulian4443]

... mispelled Continuity.

[@TrollMeister_]

Apple JUST WORKS. That's all you need to know about Apple.

[@no009limit]

Agreed! Even if it’s 4 years later… It just works.

[@uncazzoverde]

Great video, thank you

[@Fate025]

I use the droidcam OBS app on my android phone to have it become my webcam as well, just that its for OBS. And yea the upgrade in image quality from using a webcam to phone camera is massive.

[@pwmsensitive]

Android 14 has a native Webcam via USB feature!

[@GlenCote]

Any recommendations for an iPhone 11 holder for this?

[@NancyHadfield]

Hi Josh, I have an Iphone 14 pro. Just purchased a new MacBook Air. I cant get my phone to connect as a camera? I tried plugging it in and bluetooth. Neither way works.

[@binjones]

Can you use continuity camera with an iPhone and an iPad?

[@sabrinablack7300]

Hello, I have an IPhone 12 PRO and a Mac Book PRO with Sonoma 14.2.1. Both are running on the most current update. I can access continuity camera and use my IPhone as the webcam. That works. But I do not have video effects as an option when I click what you did at the top right of the screen. Also, is there a way to zoom in and out while using the iPhone as the webcam. I need to zoom in a little.

[@alwaysright3718]

Can you do this with Windows 10 and iPhone 13?

[@P4PKing]

I'm assuming you need a Macbook. Leave it to Apple to force you to buy more of their products in order to use certain features.

[@supremeasura3358]

this is for apple computers only

[@activeexploration]

What if you don’t have apple OS on laptop? Am I just fucked or is there a way to do this with windows OS?

[@tamwilfred]

I use a program like Camo that allows smartphone users to use their phone as a webcam.

[@pwmsensitive]

Yes you are. Android 14 supports MAC and PC.

[@Wuyifrom]

The iPhone holder is much expensive than most of plugin cameras in the market.

[@CRANEREVIEWS]

Well, duh, no one is buying an iPhone purely to use it as a webcam..

[@ThrashLawPatentsAndTMs]

Apple works so well that over 125,000 people so far have visited to learn how to replace their inadequate iMac Camera with another apple product .... SMH

[@luiszuniga5815]

video fails to mention you need to be using the same apple id on both laptop and phone.

[@keithkeith2106]

Can I use my iPhone to do a zoom call on a windows computer ? Can I use an external mic ?

[@26snoopy82]

I could not find info if this feature can work for the 8+ or not?

[@dlproductions9574]

How do you change which lens gets used on the iPhone?

[@Drushy_G]

One of those videos I regret watching 😔

[@noash9784]

Work with iPad?

[@Cosaamia]

Your instructions don't work. Don't have camera options you show on Mac

[@erich1710]

Start up Facetime, then go to the Video drop-down menu. If your iPhone is unlocked, you should be able to see it as a camera selection. Once selected, you should see the video options. Not sure how it works with Zoom or Teams, though.

[@tamwilfred]

I have an older macbook, 2012. I wonder who the video capture compares when using it at the full resolution compared to using my iPhone with the Camo free app that limits my quality to 720p.

[@faithfitnessandfatherhood]

How do you set up the wireless CC? I only have my iPhone as an option when it is plugged in, and for whatever reason, I don't see the video option in the control center...either way.

[@6MonthsLater]

It's just there when you bring your iPhone in range of your Mac. Def make sure both are running the latest operating system and if that doesn't work, I'd try restarting both, could be some weird bug. - Josh

[@tamwilfred]

Depends on what Mac you are using. I have the older 2012, but since it can't run the lastest OS I can't use CC. That might be your issue too.

[@orangefox0052]

you didn't mention that you need to turn on continuity camera on iphone settings. terrible!

[@BenjaminTMeintzerJr]

It’s much clearer and more accurate than any thing u have used

[@igorkhomenko9680]

No it does not. As always with Apple - impossible to get into settings and just set it up - there's always has to be a mystery. Sux.
