Certainly works wirelessly with no problems with my iMac & iPhone XR with FaceTime which has to be already running with the iMac camera light illuminated. Picks up the phone straight away and you can walk around with it if you like. Claimed to work with Zoom too and possibly other video apps.

I had all of those prerequisites in place, but it still was not working.
But I just tried again, and it is working now wirelessly. As soon as I launched FaceTime, it 'chimed' and automatically started using the iPhone camera. It puts up a small green circle in upper right corner of each display to indicate that a camera is active.
One thing I did is to enable the
Show this iPhone when on Wi-Fi option in Finder. But I don't know if that helped, or what the problem was before.
It's supposed to work with any app that can access the camera. Photo Booth or QuickTime Player for example. However, I cannot get it working with iMovie or Final Cut Pro: launching either of those turns off the iPhone camera. Wonder why not (they do show my built in iMac and Studio Display cameras as import options).
