Ipad connection to mac mini

I want to use my Ipad Pro as an input camera on Ecamm live but when i connect the Ipad with its 'power' usb cord to the USB c on my mac mini it does not show up. Do I need to get an USB c to USB a cable?

You are not going to be able to use your iPad's hardware along with your Mac mini in the way that you have described. The only thing that you can use in combination of your iPad Pro and your Mac mini is the ➔ SideCar feature.

Actually, I got it connected and recognized by the mac mini! The problem was the mac mini hub, the USB C port on this device doesn't allow any USB c signal to come through to the mac mini. I can use my Ipad Pro with pencil in Ecamm live now and that's just great! Thanks anyway
