Anyone having this problem: iPadPro 2017...iOS16.1...can hear but not see video on FaceTime . Other end of call is new iPad. But...no problems with 2 other FaceTime calls. All three out of state for me. All devices on my end on same wifi and same 'call' number (where I can be reached). Not wifi as FaceTime works on my iPhone Pro. Think it has something to do with 'Continuity' or having iPad/iPhone / MacBook Pro all on same wifi and in same general area? Any suggestions?
Got a tip for us?

The most likely reason is that the person on the other end has their camera turned off.
No. Thats not it. When he immediately calls and I answer on my iPhone…there is no issue. Also, if I answer on my MacBook Pro…again, no issue. Something to do with the iPad/Software…I guess????
Yeah, that's weird. It could be software related...are all devices on the latest OS? iPadPS 16.1 is the first released iPad version of iPadOS 16, so maybe it's related to that. But I don't have the problem and I've got the same iPad as you. Try rebooting your iPad.
Latest OS. Same Wifi. Same 'call ' number . I think it probably has something to do with the age of the iPad.....or bandwidth . IPad has latest update to 16.1. (20B82). Or...just a bug. Next I'll try at a time when I think most people are out/at work ...to check if its bandwidth....though that should affect the 2017 MacBook Pro I would think?
2nd reboot was the charm! Hadn't worked earlier when I tried but this time I also 'closed' all open apps (where you pull up the 'right' screen and swipe apps to the top to close them). Edit: But I know this old machine is having trouble with the newest/greatest iOS..actually gets 'warm' sometimes ...upgrade probably sometime next year.
