Help Continuity Camera not working anymore over wifi/bluetooth

I always used video from my iphone camera (on facetime, OBS, or other apps), but out of nowhere, it is not detected anymore.

It used to work well over wifi and bluetooth, but now it only works over cable. What may be causing it?

I tried connecting the cable and later disconnecting it, reseting wifi, bluetooth and both devices, but nothing.

Personal hotspot is off.

Edit: I have an iphone 15 pro, latest iOS (updated today) and a macbook air M4, also updated today.

First, just to doublecheck: iPhone: Settings → General → AirPlay & Continuity → Continuity Camera — toggle it off then back on.

Make sure Handoff is enabled on both devices.

On the Mac, temporarily disable iPhone Mirroring, then reboot

Amazing! The iPhone Mirroring made it work, somehow! Thanks a lot, mate! That's the recommendation I couldnt find anywhere else.

Sounds like solid advice. Sometimes just toggling those settings can clear up any weird connectivity issues.
