Zooming in to Optimize Field of View in Continuity

Hi alienator,

Please check out the information outlined in the following link, which outlines the requirements to zoom out or zoom in on your desktop when using Desk View: Continuity Camera: Use iPhone as a webcam for Mac

Please note that Desk View Requires iPhone 11 or later, excluding iPhone SE.

Desk View

Requires iPhone 11 or later, excluding iPhone SE

Using the Ultra Wide camera, Desk View shows your desk and your face at the same time. It's great for creating DIY videos, showing sketches over FaceTime, and more.

1. Open the Desk View app as follows:

* If using FaceTime, start your video call, then click the Desk View button in the upper-right corner of the video window.

* If using a different app, click Control Center  in the menu bar, click Video Effects, then click Desk View.

2. To zoom out or zoom in on your desktop, drag the onscreen control in the Desk View setup window. If you can't get a good view of both face and desktop, try again with your iPhone in portrait orientation.

You can also make these adjustments after you start Desk View. To skip this setup step in the future, use the View menu in the Desk View menu bar to turn off Always Show Setup.

3. Click Start Desk View, then share the Desk View window:

* If using FaceTime, the Desk View window should already be shared. If others on the call can't see your desktop, click the Desk View button in the FaceTime window again, then click the Share Desk View button in the Desk View window.

* If using a different app, use its screen-sharing feature to select the Desk View window for sharing.

4. To stop Desk View, close the Desk View window. Or click the screen sharing button  (if available) in the Desk View window, then choose Stop Sharing Window or Close Window.

Thanks!
