iPhone Continuity Camera won't connect wirelessly to Mac mini?

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.

Terrific Juan. I've been looking for weeks to find what I was doing wrong. You nailed it.

spent the last hour troubleshooting, reset every network setting, doing everything suggested....then I come across this and boom it works! Thank you so much

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.

Apple wasn't able to help, you were! Thank you!

I tried for ages until I found your video. For a minute I thought you were not going to tell us the fix but right at the end - have phone locked - and BOOM, it works! Thankyou

Juan, you are lifesave. Been searching about this, mostly just overrated fancy Youtuber that didn't explain anything. Thank you.

Thanks, Juan, it didn't work until I connected USB first, but then it work wireless for me. Thanks again.

Awesome video!! Definitely going to try this out tomorrow!! Does your FaceTime normally say “No Camera Available” when you open it?

[michelenardo]

This was freaking amazing, thank you!

hello make some clear video becasue i have a mac mini m2 its camera work while with cable but wirelessly didn't work..i tried but not successfull

[vidzaratm]

in my case, if the mac is brand new, the phone needs to be connected to mac via cable first, in order to trust the mac and then they will connect. thanks

Thank you sir. Simple and to the point.

For anyone trying to fix this issue with the mac mini. It will also pop up the option to use the iPhone Camera if you have any other webcam connected with usb. The solution in the video works great aswell

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.'

I have an Iphone 13 Pro Max, M1 Macbook Air and M1 Mac Mini. It just recognizes the Macbook. I´m not able to make it work with the Mini. All of them last update, same WiFi, Iphone blocked and landscape mode... so weird

Thank you Juan for the informative video!

[preeethan]

This is exactly what I have been looking for 😊

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.

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

Great work Juan!, I've wasted hours finding the solution on apple's own site and internet too but nothing helped. Thanks!
