Use iPhone as a second camera on Mac

DualTake in the browser pairs your Mac webcam with Continuity Camera — a two-angle podcast setup without a capture card.

Updated September 15, 2026

Want a lightweight interview or podcast recording with two cameras? DualTake on Mac uses Apple Continuity Camera so your iPhone becomes a second video source next to the built-in webcam — both recorded together in Chrome, Safari, or Edge.

Requirements

  • Mac on macOS 13 Ventura or later
  • iPhone on iOS 16 or later
  • Same Apple ID on both devices
  • Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled
  • Modern browser (Chrome, Safari, or Edge)

Setup steps

  1. Open getdualtake.app/record on your Mac
  2. Bring the unlocked iPhone near the Mac
  3. In DualTake Sources, pick the Continuity Camera iPhone as Scene (or Face)
  4. Pick the Mac webcam for the other angle and your preferred mic
  5. Choose bubble or split layout, then record

What you get

DualTake exports a zip with the composed video plus raw front and rear streams — pre-synced for Final Cut, Premiere, or DaVinci if you want to re-edit later.

iPhone-only dual camera?

For simultaneous front + rear on the phone itself, use the DualTake iPhone app — Safari cannot open both cameras at once.
