I can’t recall the name of the software off hand, but you can use your iPhone as an external camera for your Mac.

EDIT Looks like there’s a couple of options, for example EpocCam.



For paid software with which I have no affiliation beyond being a happy customer, there’s Reincubate Camo: https://reincubate.com/camo/


I've been using this method with pretty good result: https://github.com/apancik/iphone-as-a-webcam


Thank you very much, this is exactly the satisfactory solution I haven't found when I was looking for it before! I expected that the iPhones screen recording was only available in Quicktime and not for third-party apps like OBS. Going to try it out soon with an old iPhone 5, I hope it supports streaming video from the camera in the browser.


Doesn’t work with FaceTime, unfortunately.
