Connecting an external camera to iPhone XI, then using it for Skype and Zoom using a smart TV as a screen

My boss asked me this question but I think that's entirely impossible. He wants to replicate his iphone screen on a Samsung Smart TV, then, using his Skype / Zoom / Teams app in the Iphone, call people and put the iphone on the table and let people see him from an external webcam. connected to the iphone via bluetooth or wifi. What do you think about? Thank you


Solution 1:

You should be able to do this with the Apple Digital AV Adapter as it allows you to connect an external monitor to your iPhone/iPad device. That would be the most efficient method.

The second method to do this would be to utilize an AppleTV connected to the external monitor/TV. You would then AirPlay the Zoom meeting to AppleTV. This would meet your requirements of being wireless, but keep in mind that in an office environment where there's lots of demand for WiFi, you may see a choppy video due to network latency and dropped packets. If possible, create a dedicated VLAN with QoS (quality of service) configured to put priority on that traffic.

A third option would be to simply get an inexpensive Mac like a Mac mini and connect the screen along with a quality webcam like the Logitech Brio or if the room is large enough, one of their "pro grade" conference web cams.
