    FaceTime icon keeps popping up tvOS 17 😔

    I installed tvOS 17 and tried FaceTime. Now a FaceTime icon keeps popping up in the top right hand corner of the screen even when I’m using apps like YouTube. It’s very annoying. What Does it mean and how can I stop it from appearing?

    Why won't my AirPods Pro work on FaceTime on Mac?

    my 1st gen AirPods Pro work just fine on my MacBook Air M1, but sound from FaceTime only comes out of the Mac's built in speakers. I tried unpairing and repairing the AirPods, updating the Mac, restarting the Mac, and checking in control center to make sure the audio output is set to AirPods...

    FaceTime camera seems too close after the MacOS Ventura 13.3 update (22E252)

    Hi guys. I have recently noticed something that makes me a bit annoyed. The FaceTime camera on my MBP 14 M1 Pro 2021 model seems to close to my face when I am in a call. The person on the other side of the connection confirms this issue too. You know that there is a setting in a FaceTime call...

    iPhone 8 Plus FaceTime not always ringing

    Hi, My elderly mum has my wife's old iPhone 8 Plus. She knows nothing about these things and so I've set it up with nothing but homescreen-shortcuts that have pictures of our faces so she can FaceTime her loved ones. She uses the phone for nothing else. There's the weather widget and the...

    Is there a way to stop FaceTime from taking over during incoming calls?

    I like the feature of taking calls on my Mac. But what is driving me crazy is that FaceTime seems to immediately become the foreground app, stopping all inputs to other apps. For example: If I'm typing while a call is coming in my keystrokes result in warning sounds. Of course, when I'm just...

    FaceTime Handoff No Longer Works

    As title suggests, I have been using handoff with FaceTime from my M1 MBP to my iPad Pro with no issues until this newest update. I can use Universal Control no problem, but switching FaceTime calls between devices no longer works. I tried turning handoff on and off, but that did not work...

    Other Just me or does FaceTime performance keep getting worse and worse every year?

    Now, don’t get me wrong, FaceTime has definitely been adding features over the years that are most welcome…. But at what cost? I have been an iPhone owner since the 5C, and I feel like I’m choosing regular phone calls over FaceTime these days because the number of issues I encounter most times...

    Is FaceTime switching actually working for anyone?

    Im a heavy user of FaceTime and was so excited about being able to quickly switch between devices when on a FaceTime call. I usually use AirPods and I switch between my MacBook Air M2 and my iPhone 14 Pro. But I have yet to experience this feature actually working. What happens is either that...

    Distorted facetime microphone sound from Brio webcam on 13.0 Beta (22A5373b)

    My Brio webcam has always worked very well until the last few betas. Remote users report looping echo sounds. I do not have an alternate mike hooked to my Mac Studio to test whether it is specific to the mike or just any of them. Has anybody else seen this?

    iSight Camera on PowerPC

    Hi all, I have an iSight camera arriving in a few days, and I’m trying to figure out if it can work on a PowerPC Mac with any kind of video calling these days. I can’t see that FaceTime is likely to be compatible, but any thoughts on in-browser solutions, iChat, or more imaginative...

    Can FaceTime be used without an Apple ID on iPhones?

    iMessage definitely can be used without an Apple ID. I think FaceTime, too, works without one on iPhones, but I'm not 100% sure. Wikipedia says it does: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_ID#FaceTime_and_iMessage Did somebody test this? Is somebody using FaceTime regularly without an Apple...

    Will FaceTime stream 1080p from a 3rd-party cam on a 720p iMac?

    I want to improve the webcam on my 2017 720p iMac running Monterey. First of all, if I purchase a third-party1080p or higher webcam, can it use the full 1080p or 4K resolution on FaceTime calls, or will it downsize the stream to 720p on an older iMac? Secondly, are there any webcams you...

    Monterey external USB headset mic issues with FaceTime

    So I upgraded my Mac Mini 2018 last week, and was pleasantly surprised. Everything seemed to work fine, and it also seemed snappier — and Quicken running on Win10 via Parallels definitely was more responsive. today, tho, I encountered my first issue. My Logitech headset, which worked perfectly...

    "Allow More Data on 5G": All FaceTime Calls always going through 5G even on Gigabit Wi-Fi

    For a while now, every time I did a FaceTime, my phone would disconnect from my Gigabit Wi-FI network to handle the call with my 1 bar of 5G. I would notice right away because people would tell me the quality is not good... I just realised today that the culprit is the "Allow More Data on 5G"...
