Making a FaceTime Call

When you want to make a FaceTime to call to someone else who uses a Macintosh, iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, make sure you are in a Wi-Fi hotspot and then follow these steps:

  1. From the Home screen, tap the FaceTime icon. The FaceTime screen appears, using the front-facing camera so you can see how you will look to others, as shown in Figure 20-8.

  2. (Optional) If you have already used FaceTime on your iPad, you can tap the Favorites or Recents icons in the bottom-right corner of the screen to connect with someone you chatted with before.

  3. Tap the plus sign in the upper-right corner of the screen to define a new FaceTime contact. A New Contact window appears, as shown in Figure 20-9.

  4. Type a name and an iPhone phone number or email address associated with someone else’s FaceTime account and tap the Done button. Your saved name and FaceTime contact information appears.

  5. Tap the iPhone number or email address to start a FaceTime videoconference. Your face appears as a thumbnail image in the corner of the screen while the other person’s face fills the screen, as shown in Figure 20-10.

  6. (Optional) Tap the Mute or Switch Camera icons to shut off the volume or switch the view of your iPad from the front-facing to the back-facing camera.

  7. Tap the End button when you want to stop your FaceTime videoconference.

The FaceTime screen lets you chat through video.
