Often, third-party accessory manufacturers like to send their products to influencers to get early feedback and quickly reach a fairly large audience. This is what Belkin has proposed in recent days, offering some people the opportunity to test itsmagnetMagSafe dedicated to Camera Continuity functionality. This allows you to use your iPhone as a webcam, “replacing” that of your MacBook.
At the moment, we do not yet know when this item will be marketed. However, we know that macOS Ventura will be available in final version as of thisautumn, at the same time as iOS 16 and iPadOS 16. It would therefore not be surprising to see Belkin announced as an official partner by Apple during a conference, probably scheduled for the month of September.
Using your iPhone as a webcam with Belkin's new MagSafe attachment is so easy.. Got a chance to test out an early version of it on iOS and Mac OS Ventura Betas. Desk view is also 🔥🙏🏻pic.twitter.com/Y1AZCS31oT

How does it work?
As we can see in these videos, you actually just need to clip Belkin's little mount to the top of your screen so that a popup window opens in macOS. This suggests using your iPhone “like a webcam“, taking advantage of several advantages of choice such asCentered frame, Portrait mode or even Desk View.
For synchronization to take place without a hitch, it is necessary to connect your iPhone and your MacBook to thesame Wi-Fi networkvia the same Apple ID. Many mobile models are announced as compatible, such as the iPhone 13 Pro or the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Cheaper editions are not left out, sincethe third generation iPhone SEare also mentioned.
Better rendering than with the Mac
Call outCamera continuityfor your video calls will allow you to take advantage of a wide-angle lens that your computer does not naturally have. This can be very practical in the case where several people join a meeting with FaceTime, or when it is necessary to share documents withDesk View. The option, which can be triggered with one click from the macOS menu bar, widens the field of vision to film your desk and your hands. For example, your interlocutors can read your notes live to check that you have not written any errors.
