With a Mac Mini, If you don't have another wired USB camera, using an iPhone for wireless Continuity Camera operation does not work.
After some troubleshooting, it was found to work solo with a wired (lightning) connection.
Hope this helps.
(Tested on 2020 M1 Mac Mini w/ iPhone 13 Mini via USBA-Lightning cable)
Mac mini, macOS 13.0
You are correct - I have had a number of telephone calls with Apple Support regarding Continuity Camera not working wirelessly and they can not figure it out.
With A Mac mini M1 and iPhone 13 this feature only works when the iPhone is connected to the M1 with a cable
Completely broken feature
I cannot connect iPhone 13 mini as cont camera to mac mini m1 even with cable
How did you?
To troubleshoot this, have a spare usb camera set up as the 'primary' camera and working. Then have the Mac mini pick up the phone as the 'secondary' camera. This works in wired or wireless mode for some reason. After this, it should be able to pick up the iPhone as a primary camera (in wired mode only) from then on.
Mine worked when I first upgraded to Ventura...at least the iPhone 11 camera automatically came on and I had no clue why!
By the time I figured out this was a feature I wanted to use I believe Ventura was upgraded. Now it only work if I have the iPhone plugged into my M1 Mac-mini. I have been trying to get this to work for a couple of days now.
But before the update it works
