In macOS Ventura and iOS 16, Apple added a really cool new feature called Continuity Camera. Basically, it allows you to use the camera and mic in your iPhone XR or iPhone 11 or later with apps like FaceTime and Zoom on your Mac. This is great for two different groups of people: those who are dissatisfied with the camera quality on their Mac, and those who have a Mac with no camera or a broken camera. However, if it’s not needed this feature is liable to interfere from time to time. I’ve heard reports from a few clients that their mic or camera occasionally switches over to their iPhone in the middle of a call.
Luckily, you the option to turn it off if it’s not a feature you need. On your iPhone, head to the Settings app > General > AirPlay & Handoff. Turn off Continuity Camera.
