I have macos Ventura officially released and iPhone 13. All are connected to same Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on and on same Apple ID but continuity camera does not connect to FaceTime. I am able to use iPhone continuity camera for photos, scan documents but not for FaceTime. I also connect is to Mac with cable but no luck. Is this a bug?

Yes i know. The problem is that sometimes this function works and sometimes not. For example I manage it to work (I dnot know how) and it worked for four times as I open facetime and fifth time it did not work anymore no matter what I do, after a hour I try again and it did not work. After a longer time it worked again but for one time and after that again not. If I am lucky it works. I think this is still in beta and not polished at all.
