Continuity camera is one of the most exciting features of macOS Ventura. This lets you replace an iPhone’s webcam when you answer a call from your MacBook. The feature can be a bit of a hassle to set up, but once you have all the right settings, it’s very easy to use.
To use Continuity Camera, make sure your hardware and software are compatible. You can be on any Mac computer running iOS Ventura. iPhone requirements get a little more complicated – Continuity Camera will technically work with an iPhone XR or newer, but only the 11 and later can use certain fancier features like Center Stage and Desk View, while you’ll need a 12 or higher if your Studio want to use Light. Whatever phone you have, you must be running iOS 16.
If you have the right devices, here’s how to set up and use the Continuity Camera.
