Sign in to or out of FaceTime on Mac
Before you can make or receive FaceTime calls or phone calls on your Mac, you need to sign in to FaceTime using your Apple ID and turn FaceTime on.
When you sign out of FaceTime, you can’t receive FaceTime calls or phone calls until you sign in again. If you want to stay signed in to FaceTime but stop receiving calls, you can turn FaceTime off.
For information about system requirements for using FaceTime, see FaceTime requirements.

If you forgot your Apple ID or password, or if you need to create an Apple ID, go to the Apple ID account website.
Make sure to sign in using the same Apple ID on every device. See the Apple Support article Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple Watch.

If someone calls you, you don’t receive a notification for the call; to the caller, it looks like you’re not answering.
Note: Instead of turning off FaceTime, you can turn on Do Not Disturb in Notification Centre, which prevents notifications from disturbing you. See Receive, pause or stop notifications.
