Using an iSight camera on a Mac mini

I just purchased a new Mac mini and an LG monitor. The LG monitor does not have an integrated camera. I have an iSight camera but it connects with a firewire which the mini doesn't accept. How do I solve this problem?



Mac mini, macOS 13.3

Here's one way: Continuity Camera: Use iPhone as a webcam for Mac - Apple Support


As for using an iSight Camera via FireWire, you'll easily spend as much money on adapters and dongles to maybe get that to work here as you would spend on a USB-C webcam. And a modern camera can have much better resolution.
