Continuity Camera (Using iPhone Mic)

So, the continuity camera and the iPhone mic work fine with my MacBook Pro M1 - but my intel Mac Mini does not display the iPhone as a viable sound input option. All my apple devices are fully updated to the latest (respective) OS. All are connected through the same Apple ID and near as I can tell all of the other features function as advertised. Universal Controls work well - is this a situation that requires me to tether my iPhone (via cable) to the Mini?

Mac mini, macOS 13.1

Hi SeraphicImago,

Here's some troubleshooting that may help with your continuity camera issue:

"If Continuity Camera isn't working as expected

Make sure that your iPhone and Mac meet the system requirements.
Make sure that your iPhone is properly mounted.
Install the latest macOS updates, iOS updates, and updates for your video app.
If you haven't unlocked your iPhone since it last restarted, unlock it, then lock it again.
Plug your iPhone into your Mac.
Restart your iPhone or Mac."
