facetime

The topic is based on an accidental discovery of mine regarding the seemingly persistent inability of the desktop counterpart of FaceTime to pass the connectivity wall of the mobile one. When the call is initiated Console, among others, contains the entry Unable to create the power assertion...

SE 1. Gen iOS 14.0.1 email and phone number (SIM card in device) all linked to FaceTime and Apple ID. Happens on both WiFi (broadband, good signal) and 4G LTE Ever since the iOS 14 or 14.0.1 upgrade sometimes I can not see my own camera’s video feed and neither can the person on the other end...

Hi! just wanted to share a feature I noticed which might help other people. We all know that moment when we leave the country and get a local sim. a lot of people said and think you can only use the current number for iMessage and facetime but it’s possible to keep your old number for 30 days...

When a phone call (or Facetime I assume too) comes in, it's in "mini mode". Great. Looks cool. But say I want to switch the call to speaker instead of iPhone. It changes to full-screen mode and I can't see a way to get back to mini mode. Is it even possible or is it only when the call comes...

I'm on the latest beta of Big Sur and am still having tons of issues with FaceTime. The problems seem to have to do with different sound inputs and outputs. Whenever I use my external webcam on a second screen for FaceTime, as soon as I go back to the built in webcam on my MacBook Pro it doesn't...

I'm not sure if this is normal, but I recall in older versions of MacOS that I was was still able to accept and make outbound FaceTime calls, despite my Macbook's webcam being unavailable due to clamshell mode. However, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. MacOS blurs the caller's video...

Hi, I am having some serious problems with my iMac mid-2011. When I lunch an application (FaceTime, Skype, OBS, Quick Time Video Capture, google chrome) they instantly crash when they try to use the camera. Google chrome also crashes randomly and when using youtube. FaceTime crashes instantly...

So my son is 11 and some of his friends have phones and he wants to be able to message them. I let him have an old iPhone 5s we had sitting in the closet, and I set up a child account under my iCloud account. However I cannot figure out how to get iMessage to work, I keep getting an activation...

Has anyone else come across the issue where Live Photos taken in FaceTime do not save to the camera roll / photos app? Occasionally they will work, but it’s completely hit and miss. Steps to recreate: 1. Enable “FaceTime Live Photos” for both parties (caller and receiver). 2. Press the white...

Hi. I have been given a call funktion in Microsoft Teams from work. How can I make the phone symbol in contact call through teams instead of the FaceTime app? This could be done through Skype For Business, but now we have upgraded and I can't use that anymore. Anyone know of a solution?

I just update my devices to the last macOS and iOS versions and I've lost the ability to call older versions of iOS. I really don't know, but to a couple of versions bellow for sure. Like iOS 10 or iOS 8. I'm not sure because I don't have those devices with me. My mother and my in-laws, have...

After I restore my phone over iOS 13.3 iMessage and FaceTime activation is failing constantly. I use Google Fi and I think must be related to that. I contacted Apple support but they are clueless about it. Anyone else with the same issue?

So I wanted to use Photo Booth and suddenly “There Is No Connected Camera” screen appeared. Searching for solution on Google, I found out some ones like a special commands in Terminal to fix this problem. I opened Terminal, began to type commands such as “sudo killall VDCAssistant” and “sudo...

Actually no apps can so it's either related to the applications not requesting access or catalina is just broken

I'm having a weird problem now that I've installed iPad OS on my iPad Pro. I used to do this all the time with iOS 12: Be in a Facetime call with one other person. Swipe up to go to the home screen. Facetime window is automatically minimized and I can still see the person. Go into another...

Two main issues I and others have been having. FaceTime seems to be really buggy especially when FaceTiming other iOS users who are on iOS 12, etc. FaceTime will drop any connectivity during calls. On Wi-Fi it will randomly drop and go to LTE or sometimes even drop all signals like Airplane...

A slightly odd one. I'm on an XS Max with IOS 13 b2. If I video call someone with iOS 12 (latest-ish - can't be certain), the video call works normally for a while... then get a 'poor connection'... then a 'reconnecting' . Meanwhile the IOS 12 party sees their video go blank, possibly...

With Apple transitioning from a hardware company to a software company, releasing more and more of their softwere for other plattforms. Apple Music for Android, iTunes and Apple TV for Samsung and other smart TV’s. What is the chance we will see more apps in the future launch for Windows and...

Hi. I have a Mac mini and I'd like to use FaceTime with it. Can I use any kind of webcam and is the resolution the same as the camera's maximum, i.e. will a 4K webcam allow me to transmit in 4K or is there an OS limitation such as 720p or 1080p?

Hi all, I've noticed that FaceTime Video hangs up on me every 19 seconds after connecting and FaceTime Audio hangs up 20 seconds after connecting. Tested on: iPhone 7 - iPhone X iPhone X - iPhone 8 Plus iPhone X - iPad Air All devices are running the latest iOS. Is anybody else encountering...
