UPDATE! Solved! I fixed the issue by turning off Firewall on Mac and rebooting iPhone and Mac right after.

Then I turned Firewall on back again but continuity camera remained working properly.


Hope this could help.

The suggested firewall solution did not work for me. Instead, I had to disconnect from VPN. It works fine as long as I'm not on VPN, but I get the black screen when I'm connected to VPN.

System: Apple MacBook Pro M1 Max, MacOS Sonoma 14.5, Cisco Secure Client 5.1.2.42 (Duo-Split-Tunnel-VPN).

Anyone has any update on the subect? Having the same issue even with FaceTime when I chose iPhone as a camera in video source options. Wi-Fi or wired connection, MacBook Air just shows black screen instead of video stream from the camera. Camera usage is allowed for all apps in Privacy settings. Running the last version of MacOS and iOS.

Finally worked for me!!


When I read here this sugggestion "manually ALLOW that app to access your strictly private camera"


I thought that I should do the same for Bluetooth (besides camera). So, in my case I allowed Zoom.us and Google Chrome. BINGO, it worked.

Yes, I am on a Mac Studio with 32gig mem. and 512 gig internal SSD. The iPhone is the new 15 Pro Max. I have jumped through every hoop I can find with no luck. What I need to know is every setting in my iPhone and on my Mac that I need to set it up. Nowhere can I find that info and what is there on video is just the basics claiming do this and it will work. NOPE, I spent all this money on a new phone and the last update to the phone made it useless 17.4 ios.
