TVOS 17 Continuity Camera

Recently updated to TV OS 17, tried Facetime and unable to use iPhone 14 Pro Max or iPad Air 4th Generation as the continuity camera. Signed in with the same  Id on all devices. Handoff is enabled on iphone and ipad, same wifi network.


iPhone does work on mac if that helps


Any ideas?

I'm also experiencing this issue with the iPhone 15 Pro Max (updated to latest software) and Apple TV 4k (also updated to the latest software). Continuity camera is not working. When I am prompted on the TV and on my iPhone to place the camera on its side in landscape orientation near the TV, nothing happens. My camera feed remains black and not matter how I shift or orient the phone, the camera never turns on. I have also tested on a second apple TV 4K and my wife's iPhone 12 Pro Max.

After months of struggling with this exact same problem I think I have managed to resolve it.


The solution for myself was to follow these steps on my iPhone 14 PM running 17.2.1

Settings - TV - and then to log out and back into the HOME SHARING option at the bottom of the TV settings page.


After this I rebooted my Apple TV 4K running 17.2, now continuity camera works every time and my profile now appears under Users instead of just having the option to select others.


I hope this can help.
