iPhone 12 to Quicktime

I want to see my iPhone 12 camera - video on quicktime so that I can record yoga videos.

Problem, phone camera is on landscape so that I can use the wide angle lens but when I mirror it to mac quicktime (via a usb) it shows on quicktime as portrait NOT helpful at all as wanting to see myself whilst videoing - Ive just invested £1200 on this phone and it looks like it can't do the job.

Please let me know how to fix.

Thank you

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

iPhone as Mac video camera? I cannot figure out how to use my iPhone as a video camera for my Macintosh. Here is what I have done. I connected the iPhone to the Mac with a USB Lightning cable. I turned on the Camera on the iPhone. In the Mac I turned on QuickTime Player. I pulled down the File menu to New Movie Recording. In the control panel for the new movie, I pulled down the menu beside the Record button. I selected the iPhone for both the video and audio feeds. I get neither video nor audio from the iPhone. Here is a screen shot of what I see in QuickTime Player: What is interesting is that the orientation of the window in QuickTime Player follows the orientation of the iPhone. I have the iPhone in landscape mode. That mode is what I see in QuickTime Player. When I rotate the iPhone to vertical, QuickTime Player rotates its window to portrait mode. So the two devices are communicating to some extent. But I am not recording anything. What am I missing?

Any Apple plans to support Landscape mode for iPhone as Mac extension camera? Why is Portrait mode the default for using an iPhone as another device for Quicktime on the Mac? How hard would it be to make the switch? Why force something that makes the iPhone useless for this purpose for the majority of users?

iPhone will not rotate mirror display to Landscape for anything LIVE like recording video, photo or even Facetime. Why?! Why won’t my iPhone 14 Max Pro (or any other previous iPhone) show a a mirrored display as landscape DURING the recording of a video, taking a photo or even FaceTime? Will this problem ever be fixed? The Mirror display only shows up in Landscape when you are view photos and videos in your Photos library.
