FaceTime

FaceTime is a super easy-to-use app on your Mac that lets you chat and see your friends and family on their iPhones, iPads, or even other Macs. It’s like having a little window right into their world!

User-Friendly Interface

With FaceTime's friendly interface, logging in with your Apple ID is a breeze. Once you're in, you can make video calls to anyone on your contacts list who also uses FaceTime on their devices. The app has this cool two-panel window that lets you check your video feed and access your contacts list at the same time.

No Need to Manually Add Contacts

The best part? You don’t have to start from scratch adding people! The Contacts pane helps you find different groups, check out recent calls, and even add folks to your Favorites list. So simple!

Missed Calls and More

If you happen to miss a call, FaceTime has got you covered. You can easily view missed calls along with details about each contact like call duration and when it happened. And if you're not really in the mood for video chats, no worries! Just use the FaceTime Audio feature to give friends or coworkers a quick call instead.

HD Video Calls

If your Mac has the right hardware and a good internet connection, get ready for some HD video calls up to 720p! For those with standard-definition cameras, don’t fret; you'll still enjoy VGA-quality video for Mac-to-Mac chats.

Focus on Your Conversation

Once you start a call, all the controls fade away so you can really focus on chatting without distractions. Plus, there’s a fullscreen mode if you want to dive deep into those important conversations!

Smooth Transitions

You’ll love how FaceTime smoothly transitions between camera views when iPhone or iPad users switch from front to rear cameras or change from portrait to landscape mode.

Ringing Across Devices

And guess what? Even if FaceTime isn’t running on your Mac, it will still ring if someone calls! If you're using it on multiple Macs, they’ll all ring so you can pick which one to answer from.
