While we deal with major power outages in our area I'm working at wife’s office. Despite that…

- I was able to plug into an open USB-C dock with display, mouse & keyboard and change the modifier keys in System Settings to work like an Apple keyboard.

- The display had no webcam but I taped my phone to the monitor and was able to take Zoom calls because of #ContinuityCamera

- And above all else, my work uses cloud-friendly apps and architecture. No VPN bullshit here. "It just works™”

I've always wanted this and I'm glad they found a way to do it!

I recently got a new #apple #mac #m2pro and the only real issue I’m having is with #continuity. I can use my #iphone 14 pro max as a #continuitycamera once just fine. It doesn’t work wireless at all. If I plug it in it works. If I unplug it it stops working. I have to restart to use it. Same goes for #sidecar to my m1 #ipad Pro. Also, mouse/keyboard sharing is laggy af. Anyone know a fix for these issues? Thankfully restart only takes like 10 secs so it’s not game breaking but it’s annoying.

TIL that if you want apps like Google Meet to recognize your iPhone as a possible video source on your Mac (what Apple calls "continuity camera"), it has to be in what people have been calling – I kid you not – the "magic pose":

landscape, screen off, locked, motionless (not handheld), and unobstructed camera

This is apparently due to privacy concerns with unintended camera selection(?) (though I have no idea why this would necessarily be a more serious problem on the browser than anywhere else in the OS).

Testing out the #ContinuityCamera feature of the new #macOS #Ventura, where you can use your iPhone as a webcam. It *significantly* ups the quality of your image of a video call!
