Can I use the iPad mini as the Continuity camera?
I’ve installed iOS 16.1 on my iPad mini rev 6 (2021) and Ventura on my Mac mini. Can I use FaceTime and the camera on the iPad to display on my external monitor, residing on my Mac?

Above reply is correct, and here’s a specific article indicating that the webcam needs to be an iPhone:
… Continuity Camera: Use iPhone as a webcam for Mac - Apple Support
While you can use your iPad for Continuity, you cannot it appears use it for a Continuity Camera to your Mac --> Continuity Camera: Use your iPhone or iPad to scan documents or take a picture on your Mac - Apple Support
Thanks!

Needs iPhone XR or newer. iPhone 8 doesn’t meet requirements.
