In today’s world, online meetings and virtual classes have become a daily routine. Whether you’re presenting at work, joining a Zoom lecture, or recording content, how you appear on camera matters more than ever.
But here’s the problem…
Most MacBooks — even the new ones — don’t have the best built-in cameras. They’re okay, but not amazing. They struggle in low light, they’re not sharp enough, and they definitely don’t deliver that crisp, professional, studio-like look.
Meanwhile…
Your iPhone camera is an absolute beast.
4K quality, advanced sensors, perfect color accuracy, and amazing low-light performance.
So why not use the better camera?
Well… Apple actually gives you a way to do exactly that.
Say hello to Continuity Camera — the feature that turns your iPhone into a high-quality webcam for your Mac in seconds.
