iPhone as Webcam

gear May 01, 2023

🟣 Center Stage
🟣 Portrait Mode
🟣 Studio Light

Those are the 3 awesome modes, aside from the already amazing 4k crystal clear webcam you’ll get by using your iPhone with a 2018 or newer MacBook.

 

"  Continuity camera. If you want your iPhone to be one of the dopest webcams you could possibly buy and actually follow you around and track you. No matter where you move, you can just turn on center stage. But that's not all. There's a few other video effects that you can use your iPhone for once it's connected to your MacBook Pro.

So I'm gonna turn off center stage, and now I've got a portrait mode that makes the background kind of blurry. And I guess if you have a really whack background, that might be a good idea. I kind of think it makes my hat look weird. My background is dope, so I keep portrait mode off and I use this thing called Studio Light, and it keeps the shot looking real crispy.

Look at how weirdo look, how clear I am. And Studio Light just adds a little vignette to the shot. But even with that, off the webcam looks real clean. And you can see I'm just capturing it with my other camera. So it's pretty cool, but it can be super annoying. So if you want to turn it off, go to settings general.

Then airplay and handoff, and then."

To turn off the Continuity Camera feature on your iPhone and MacBook Pro, follow these steps:

1. On your iPhone, open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and tap on "General."
3. Next, tap on "AirPlay & Handoff."
4. Finally, disable the "Continuity Camera" option.

By following these steps, you will disable the Continuity Camera feature, which allows your iPhone to function as a webcam and provides various video effects such as Center Stage, Portrait Mode, and Studio Light when connected to your MacBook Pro.
