macOS 13 Ventura is Apple’s latest Mac operating system, and it brings with it a truck load of new features for desktop and notebook users. Like every version of macOS before it, Ventura brings updates to many different parts of the operating system from Safari to Spotlight to Mail, and beyond. While many of the changes and updates are indeed noteworthy, there are a few that I personally think are the most exciting.

Continuity Camera

Most computers have okay webcams, but most aren’t great. For most uses they don’t need to be amazing. But now, we have another option. macOS Ventura allows iPhone owners to use their iPhones as webcams instead of the built-in cameras in their Mac computers.

When you launch an app that can use the camera, simply bring your phone close to the Mac, and you’ll have an option to use the camera of the phone. One caveat here is that your phone must be running iOS 16, so those of you still running iOS 15 will need to upgrade in order to enjoy this feature.

Continuity Camera in macOS 13 offers several great features.

Center Stage, using the Ultra Wide camera, will keep you in the center of the frame even if you move around…
