Is there any way to use continuity camera on mac and iphone with a personal and work icloud account? I can't currently use this feature plugged in or wirelessly due to accounts being different for work and personal on each device. What's the best solution?

Continuity Camera Does Not Capture Video Problem Definition I can "Take Photo" or "Scan Documents" with Continuity Camera in supported apps (notes, mail ...) and It works perfect. When I try to connect video stream apps like Face Time or Zoom: I see connected status successful on phone screen. I see little green light on devide camera is active. I can set video effect on mac control center. After 5 seconds I see "No Video" error message. Devices: * MacBook Pro 2019 16 inch (OS Version Ventura 13.1 ) * iPhone 13 with OS 16.2 ** Both devices have bluetooth enabled, are using the same AppleID, no VPN is enabled and are using the same WiFi network. Attempted the following: *Two factor is enabled * Deletion of bluetooth settings on Mac OS * Disabling and reenabling bluetooth on both devices * Pairing iOS device with MacBook via Bluetooth * Simple shutdown / restart of both devices * Hard reset of iOS device * Switched to different wifi networks on both the Mac and iPhone * Tried landscape and portrait orientations Nothing's worked for me so far...

Continuity Camera not working, even connected with cable. Hi every one, I'm using iphone XS (iOS 16.6.1 currently newest) and Mac Mini M1 (Ventura 13.5.2 currently newest) At the beginnning, when Mac Mini has just booted up, Continuity Camera worked just fine both wire and wireless mode. But after a night, the Mac cannot receive any footage from iphone, although it can recognize there's iphone connected. Then it worked when i restarted mac, and not working again after a night. I dont want to restart my Mac everyday so it would be great if you guys can help, I have seen this case but it does not help: Continuity Camera stopped working wireles… - Apple Community Thanks, Gia Minh.

Are you using a supported app to try this?
