    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"...

    Wifi Keeps Disconnecting While On FaceTime

    I just started noticing this around the time iOS 15 came out. What happens if I’ll be on FaceTime with my friend and then randomly both of our wifi will disconnect at the exact same time for like a minute or so, switch to cellular data during the time, and then will reconnect. It’ll do this many...

    14 MBP Battery drain on Facetime

    I have a base model 14 MBP and started a Facetime call with 100% battery. After exactly an hour, my battery had drained to 65% which I felt was a bit low. On the other hand, that same Facetime call after an hour would only drain to 80-83% on my 2020 iPad Pro 11 inch. I realize the MBP is...

    When I'm on a speakerphone FaceTime call or a regular speakerphone call with my wife when she’s using her iPhone 11 Pro her voice cuts out UNLESS I put her on mute. The fact that putting her on mute on my phone stops her voice from cutting out shows it's not a hardware problem with her phone...
