Depends on the app you're using. For FaceTime:

camera in LG5 disappeared Like Browndog's question of last year, I have an LG 5k, and it was using the camera, but yesterday suddenly has defaulted back to Macbook Pro camera. How do I set it back to the LG monitor camera?

How can I use continuity camera with my Mac studio when it isn't connected to a webcam to begin with? I connect my mac studio to a monitor that doesn't have a camera. So when using any video call related app the camera is immediately off. Zoom for example there is no option to "change camera". There is no camera connected to begin with so I have no drop down menu to select my iPhone in zoom or meets. It works with my macbook, but my macbook has a webcam. I want to use this continuity camera with my desktop because it doesn't have a webcam to begin with.
