Confirmed as well! Big disappointment because this is the first I've heard about this limitation - Apple should include this info in their documentation.

I spent hours trying to connect my iPhone and MacBookPro with the camera continuing to time-out. Every app I tried (Facetime, Finder, Zoom, PhotoBooth, WebEx, etc) had the same issue, with no additional explanation.

I had to turn off the VPN for both my laptop and my phone in order for Continuity Camera to work.

Thank you @marin_mac for adding this bit of info.
