Well, now you can use your TV as your FaceTime computer
0:07
and you can use your phone as your camera if you have an Apple TV 4K
0:13
And I tried this out, it's super slick, man. Like, you can easily turn your camera on and off
0:19
and you can make FaceTime calls. And now you can have the picture
0:23
of the people you're talking with on your TV. And then you just set your phone up somewhere
0:28
somewhere close by, and it uses center stage to zoom in on you, and it works super well, man
0:34
Like, you can move around, it follows you all around. For the first time ever, I'm like
0:38
center stage is actually useful to me. And now you get to have a phone call
0:44
a FaceTime call on your TV, which is what I always wanted. And you still have a great camera
0:49
because even in low light, the iPhone camera creates a beautiful image of you
0:54
And it's one of those features that highlights the magic of Apple
0:59
Like, every once in a while, they pull something off like this, and you're like, dude, only they could do this
1:04
No one else would get this to work. They would tell you that it was a feature, and then you'd go to use it
1:08
and it would be complete garbage. But like, the continuity camera feature
1:12
that's Apple magic, man. Like, the fact that you can use your iPhone camera
1:16
on your MacBook Pro, and now you can use it with your Apple TV
1:20
I mean, I know it's a fanboy thing to say, but I do think it's true. It's like, that's the Apple magic right there
1:25
Like, they're the only ones that are able to get that actually working and have it work reliable
1:29
So if you haven't tried it out, you need to update your iPhone to iOS 17. You also need to update to TV OS 17
1:35
And then you'll have the ability to use your iPhone camera for FaceTime calls on your TV
1:41
Works beautifully well. I'm looking forward, we have book club next week. I'm like, finally
1:46
We're not gonna have to sit there and hold a computer on our laps, and both like, hey, like smooshing together, right
1:51
So we could both be in front of the MacBook Air screen. It's not a good setup
1:56
This is gonna be much better
