Group Video Chat Using FaceTime On Your Mac, iPhone Or iPad

[@akingleb]

Thank you I was able to do it from my iPad. My phone is Samsung but most people I know have iPhones so I was able to have a FaceTime with multiple people because of your video. Thanks again.

[@marcelguy01]

[@fona6969]

This tutorial looks really easy to do. The only problem is, the box you clicked on doesn't show up for me

[@tallman3]

Many thanks for showing how it works, specially on the iPad. So helpful at this difficult time. Great job as always!!

[@twomfilmsllc1654]

Great video! Super helpful and to the point.

[@elizabethhillier2715]

Thank you - with your clear instructions it worked perfectly for me.

[@SparklePrincessDiva]

I have a MacBook Air but I can't receive group FaceTime calls. I can only receive calls from 1 person

[@chessdude67]

Just found "remove all reasons" and that worked. For whatever reason it was grade out the last few times I have tried this. Take care!

[@CescoCDN]

Had a group FT chat with my brother and his 2 kids. For kicks, each used their Apple device so we were 4. Everything was smooth BUT (something we couldn't see in your video) the window dance had me nauseous after 20 minutes. When one person speaks their window moves to the front, the others go back. Add 2 teens who go off on tangents and the windows start moving incessantly; your eyes tracking left/right/up/down.

[@marymoss2938]

Thankyou that was good information. How to I add a video for second person to watch

[@macmost]

Like watch a presentation or something? You could share your screen with them.

[@weinbergfahrer4048]

Thank you for these great videos! I learn something new in each of them... ;)

[@Nana-ix3ic]

Okay I have a question, I have a MacBook Air and it literally won’t let me Group FaceTime at all, I’ve updated it and everything or when my friends try to add people to the call my end hangs up. What do I do?

[@Nana-ix3ic]

I haven’t, no one seems to know how to fix it

[@Nana-ix3ic]

Zack I did that tho:/ idk what’s going on with mine. I’ll double check and do it again and I’ll lyk

[@RobloxDude123]

Probably outdated malware or soft where? Do u have ssd/solid state drive or hard drive?

[@TheSxrged]

You literally only reply back to people that give a thank you, but I have yet to see ANY reply to a person needing help.

[@dave1ahc]

Very helpful!

[@chris1991]

My MacBook Pro doesn’t have the rectangle thing next to the microphone.

[@davedraft3078]

excellent instruction and a practical topic - keep it going!

[@TerryMcDaniel]

Lots of good info... How do I name my other apple products like you did?

[@macmost]

In this video the device names don't come into play. Do you mean the fact that I'm logged into different devices using different Apple IDs? I only do that for demo purposes.

[@gmowad]

nice gary! thanks by the way, why did you mount the foam to your walls and ceiling? acoustics?

[@macmost]

Yes, exactly.

[@mrdonsmith]

I learn so much from your videos. Thank you. One question here, though. When you add, say, three other people, does each person also see all the people? I would think yes, because all participants will have to at least hear everyone in the conversation so I'm thinking they'll see everyone in the group as well.

[@macmost]

Yes. Everyone sees everyone.

for me, that green ADD button does not appear, I don't know why

[@minelover241]

Same

[@magic3817]

Excellent!

[@chessdude67]

Hey Gary, How do I delete my history on my iMac...as far as FaceTime? Thank you.

[@carolweber573]

What version of mac are you using. 4 of us tried last night and only one of us could initiate it. I would like to know how I can initiate it.

[@macmost]

Everyone using up-to-date iOS? iPhone models that support it?

[@naybaeee1820]

How do you set up ft on an ipad if this is your first apple product?

[@oumayabouaissa7103]

the green button is green for me what do i do

[@stergiosbampakis]

I really think that this UI on Mac doesn’t feel very Mac like. Those buttons are huge for a pointer in the Mac. Do you think that this design is a Catalyst app ?

[@macmost]

Yes, kinda. It is definitely an app that is designed to feel the same across macOS and iOS.

[@walterh.schreiber7670]

That was new to me. Great in those times. Family conference --here we go

[@comfy4044]

I have a refurbished MacBook Air. It’s a older version I didn’t get it from Apple I got it from Walmart and it doesn’t have a add person button any help

[@chrisgill8023]

Need help with this myself

[@Dhinaco]

How do you update facetime because i do not have the buttons on my facetime

[@macmost]

It is part of the OS, so update iOS, iPadOS or macOS to get the latest version of FaceTime.

[@pkk2009]

Hi Gary! I am unable to login to my facetime with my Apple id...it shows an activation error... however I am able to login to my face time on my iPhone with my mobile number...is there a way to login using my Apple id on both the devices...macbook and iphone...also to note is that I can't activate my facetime through Mac or iPhone using my Apple ID... preference in facetime is greyed out as well from the drop down menu of facetime on the top left of screen...your help will be appreciated....thanks

[@sylviastagg-giuliano6229]

Thanks! Is there a limitation on the number of people participating. Always great information.

[@CescoCDN]

32 if memory serves.

[@inpersonaDK]

Please tell about leaving a unwanted FaceTime group

[@macmost]

Do you mean unwanted, as in you don't know the other people? Then block their numbers.

[@sircorn4248]

Fantastic video, as always.

[@carlotavaleria6576]

My issue is that I can't really turn my camera on, so people see me like the icon... HELP!

[@macmost]

If your camera isn't working, you'll need to contact Apple for support.

[@P1X13ST1K]

I cant add people on my call and my Macbook is not macos

[@tacsin1340]

Do it on the iPad 4

[@bySterling]

Great video indeed

[@mle6934]

I don’t have that button, where do I find it?

[@macmost]

Which button, exactly?

[@darkstars3247]

macmostvideo the button to add people I don’t see it

[@shinobi1974]

Thanks thanks thank you

[@just_bored_6664]

My problem is I can FaceTime someone but if I add another person it won't let me turn my camera on

[@khxqi4756]

When my friends adds me or someone else to the FaceTime it kicks me out

[@myusrn]

i have an appleid but facetime and iMessage on macOS doesn't allow me to successfully signin. do these apps only work if you have used appleid to signin to an iPhone at some point in time?

[@macmost]

No. You don't need an iPhone to use FaceTime. You can do with with just an iPad or a Mac.

[@myusrn]

@@macmost so for FaceTime ones appleid never had to be associated with a mobile number was used in an iPhone you just need apple hw. The same is not true for iMessage correct?

[@MissJubilee]

This is great, but I’ve run into the issue that my friend’s Mac won’t connect to a call with more than one person.

[@macmost]

Sounds like they are using an older version of macOS perhaps?

[@mikewolf5367]

Video is dated now that Apple opened up FaceTime for Windows and Android users via web link.

[@badcatdesign]

Go Drexel!

[@pablomills1901]

That’s great

[@goldenland24]

does group face time not work if your account is not from a 978 number because I cant do group face time on my laptop and I think it because my old android phone number is my iphone number which is 781

[@macmost]

I doubt that has anything to do with it. Are you using the latest iOS?

[@goldenland24]

macmostvideo yes on my phone and laptop

[@macmost]

@@goldenland24 Maybe not everyone on the other end does.

[@goldenland24]

macmostvideo ill ask them

[@hrhedhdh5049]

No its works at android you need to sent the facetime app

[@nimmikolhe3280]

Part

[@philgambill4473]

Hi

[@johnconstable8512]

very confusing. please re-shoot with different people on each screen, so we can understand what is going on

[@nalle475]

Do not use Zoom it's not safe. Jitsi Meet is ok

[@macmost]

In what way, specifically? There have been several articles and concerns about this recently, and Zoom has addressed all of those issues with updates. Some of those were non-issues, like starting a chat without a password means people can access with no password (true for any chat).

[@jasmineg8364]

I don’t have those buttons I only have the zoom out mute and hang up, what do I do?

[@macmost]

Are you using the latest iOS?

[@shonte8566]

how do you do it
