Continuity camera uses the iPhone camera as a Mac webcam, and Belkin is now offering a new MagSafe mount for monitors.
Belkin offers a MagSafe iPhone mount for Continuity Camera already, but it is built for attaching to the thin lid of a MacBook. The accessory maker has a new model available for desktops like the Studio Display.
The Belkin iPhone Mount for Mac Desktops straddles the top of a desktop display and attaches to an iPhone via MagSafe magnets. An iPhone 12 or newer with MagSafe can attach in portrait or landscape orientation.
The MagSafe puck can sit vertically or be adjusted down by 25 degrees downward. The base also has a spot to attach it to a tripod via a 1/4-inch screw.
The Belkin iPhone Mount for Desktops is available exclusively from the Apple Store, but it cannot be ordered as of the time of publication. It is priced at $29.95 and will likely be available for purchase soon.

I've been waiting for the monitor mount version but this doesn't look like it charges your phone. It should really have a USB cable coming off it to plug into the back of the monitor so your phone always charges while mounted. I'll wait for one that does that.
I spend enough of my workday in Teams calls that I often enough have to have my current MagSafe holder plugged in to keep the phone's charge up. I'd vote for a chargeable version of this.
