Turn off iPhone as camera and mic on Macbook

Its not clear to me how too turn this off permanently. I turned it off earlier, but upon opening Loom its back on and beeps annoyingly every time I open up the computer. I never wants my phone to be my mic or camera, ever.


How to turn this feature off for ever?

iPhone 14 Pro

after a bit of settings mining I found something which seems to work for my situation:

Settings > General > Airplay&Handoff > switch off continuity camera option.

thanks ProustGiulio, but, like kjellruben I have a need to not at all use my phone as a camera or mic on my macbook and the pause/disconnect section in the support article provides but temporary relief from the incessant and interrupting popup on the phone when it comes into range of the laptop.

Surely there must be a way to, given that I did not opt in to use my iphone as a camera/mic, switch this off. Phone is for play, mac is for work.
