Probably the same thing that happens if you receive a call while FaceTiming on your iPhone.

How we ended with this ! It looks so clunky and old school… just put better webcams, as simpler as that!
what happens if during a zoom call you receive a phone call as well?

I'm using the beta, and Continuity Camera does have the same flexibility. It doesn't depend on where you have your phone placed. I have mine mounted to an external monitor and it works great. It doesn't seem to use anything to detect proximity, it just appears as a camera option in your video software if you're within range.
Stop being rational in the MR forum. 😀
You want iPhone 13 sized lenses built into your MacBook?
Can you use this with the front facing camera of the iPhone? That is, if I have my phone in a mount charging or not, so I can see notifications on the phone etc etc... and then wanted to use this feature I could without doing the whole mounting and flipping the phone which... I will never do...
Not to be outdone, Apple is planning to release a new stackable monitor, which allows you to place a functional monitor on top of your Studio Display for when the Studio Display's embedded iOS crashes. The feature will be called Continuity Monitor.
Exactly, there are a lot of people working either with their Macbooks in clamshell mode or using a Mac Mini / Mac Studio / Mac Pro where this feature will shine.
Logitech should be worried as there’s no need for an external webcam for Apple users anymore going forward…
I like tech authorities like iJustine

Zero Authority!
I don't think any of these YouTubers have any type of authority. They are well trained on how to read a positive script given by Apple's PR. They make one wrong move, go against Apple or have anything negative to say. Apple will disqualify them and break the relationship right away.
You should watch this video. It's worth watching.

tvOS + Belkin holder on a TV- most of which lack any kind of front-facing camera- would make this very useful.
I can't tell you how often I've read people seeming to long for a good FaceTime option on the biggest screen in the house via AppleTV... even imagining a "Frankenstein" creation of soundbar + AppleTV + FaceTime camera + router + popcorn maker, etc. (OK maybe not ONE of those).
Still with tvOS based on iOS (is one ever updated without the other?), why not make this work the same way and scratch THAT popular itch?

I have an LG 34" Ultrawide monitor and no webcam so this is great. Except, I won't need Belkin's solution or know if the lip fits my LG, I can just have my son 3D print the same thing. Doesn't need a magsafe, a corresponding lip to hold the phone and this will work just fine.

Exactly right... and motivating Apple to do that by sharing any objective, critical review would then cost them substantial advertising dollars by not being among the first to get to (not really) "review" new product releases before anyone truly objective can. Those videos are heavily watched by all hungry for new information about the new product. There's LOTS of ad revenue in those. Thus, gushing positive with only token (inconsequential) negatives until the new product is available for purchase when actual reviews can be offered.

Yes! Remember when the iPhone 4 was released? All the reviews you see are well scripted and written by Apple. all positive and worth buying a product.

It may not break but it may scratch the heck out of it if you have a Macbook Air, especially color Midnight. Of course, I would be wrong but I wouldn't want to risk some hard metal/plastic touching the top edges of MBA.
Yeah I think it's relatively useless unless you're a vlogger who likes to use ring lights and such... Personally, while I understand the reasoning for lackluster camera quality on the Macbook I still find this stop-gap as fairly useless. My iPad Pro literally sits adjacent to my mac and I use it as a second screen. I just facetime from my iPad Pro
I actually wait for reviews from smaller YouTubers who are not provided items for review. They are much more trustworthy and informative with actual real world usage!
