How to Use iPhone as Webcam: A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

July 7, 2025 By Steven

Continuity Camera lets a compatible iPhone work as a camera and microphone for a nearby Mac. The devices should be signed in to the same Apple Account with the required wireless features enabled.

  1. Make sure the iPhone and Mac meet Apple’s Continuity Camera requirements and are signed in appropriately.
  2. Place the iPhone near the Mac with its rear cameras positioned toward you.
  3. Open the video app on the Mac.
  4. Choose the iPhone from the app’s camera or video-input menu.
  5. Use available Continuity Camera controls on the Mac for features such as framing or Desk View when supported.

A stable mount is recommended so the iPhone cannot fall. If the phone does not appear as a camera, verify Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, account settings, and Continuity Camera settings before resorting to third-party webcam software.
