Is it possible to zoom in and out while using iPhone as a camera? Has anyone used their iPhone as a camera connected to Quick Time player to record videos? I am doing this and it's working well. The only thing I can't figure out (it may not be possible) is to cause the iPhone camera to zoom in and out. Any ideas? The zoom ratio seems to be fixed but I feel it should be possible for the phone camera to zoom in and out. Just not sure if a ways has been an opened up for users to do this. Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated.

Continuity Camera -- Use your iPhone as a webcam The fact that we can now easily use our iPhones as webcams is great (with the recent macOS Ventura upgrade). But there is ONE important feature missing: Wide-Angle View. Using our iPhone's wide-angle camera in regular view (not desktop view). In my case, it's for Zoom calls where I need a wide-angle webcam. Has anyone figured out how to do that or do you know if Apple plans to add that feature? Thanks.
