Use iMac built in camera while screen mirroring from macbook pro

I am using iMac to mirror screen from my Macbook pro, how do I use iMac’s built-in camera as primary camera to take video meetings while screen mirroring from Macbook pro.

iMac 24″, macOS 14.1

How can I use continuity camera with my Mac studio when it isn't connected to a webcam to begin with? I connect my mac studio to a monitor that doesn't have a camera. So when using any video call related app the camera is immediately off. Zoom for example there is no option to "change camera". There is no camera connected to begin with so I have no drop down menu to select my iPhone in zoom or meets. It works with my macbook, but my macbook has a webcam. I want to use this continuity camera with my desktop because it doesn't have a webcam to begin with.

Mirror camera set up from iphone to macbook I am teaching a class and want to show students how/where to make the setting changes on their iphones. I wanted to be able to do it on my iphone, mirror it to my macbook and then project it so everyone can see it. Can I do that kind of mirroring of settings rather than a video or something from my iphone to mackbook?

Using monitor built-in webcam with MacBook Air How can I connect Asus monitor (BE279QSK) built-in webcam with MacBook air (M2, 2022 thunderbolt 4 ports)? I'm using a hub with thunderbolt 4 connection to connect to monitor. Just can't figure out how to use the monitor's webcam? Or, alternatively, how I continue to use MacBook Air camera, but adjust so that I can look at monitor vs laptop? Now when I look at screen I'm just looking up, not at camera, obviously, which is terrible for videoconferencing. Thanks!

I think Screen Mirroring is not going to work, I'd try setting up Screen Sharing.
