Continuity Camera as a first-class input

Choose a camera the way we already choose a microphone.

NextOrchard starter idea · August 7, 2026

The problem

Continuity Camera is delightful in the apps that thought of it. Everywhere else, people still hunt for a checkbox. The system already knows how to route audio. Video should feel the same.

The proposal

A system camera picker in Control Center and in the standard capture UI, including Desk View. Apps opt out only when they must. The iPhone is a stunning webcam. It should not be a scavenger hunt.

Who it helps

Remote workers, teachers, and anyone who has tilted a laptop lid for light.
