Plans for continuity camera?

I love using my iPhone as a camera while at my desk, for video calls etc. Are there plans to support this?

No plans, but this looks to be in the same family as: #162 (comment)

In fact after a quick look I think doing this before Mirroring is 100% the way to go. It looks significantly easier and paves the way for Mirroring.

Thanks for the idea!

See note here about why "real" Continuity Camera is not possible: #162 (comment)

However, tether could:

iPhone app streams video to linux over the same TLS connection used today
Linux app decode the video and publish a PipeWire video source
OBS / Zoom / Chromium / Firefox use that PipeWire video source and it feels like a webcam

Big project but doable.

That sounds like a reasonable way to go about it!

Just to mention Droidcam achieves this feature, but the software seems to be proprietary. Certainly doable though.
