Set up FaceTime on iPad
You can use the FaceTime app to stay connected with friends and family, whether they’re using an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or a Mac. With Spatial Audio in FaceTime (on supported models), people on the call sound like they’re in the room with you, talking from their positions on the screen. Spatial Audio works with the following AirPod models (sold separately)—AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro (all models), and AirPods Max.
With SharePlay, you can watch movies and TV shows together, listen to music together, play supported multiplayer games in Game Center with friends, or participate in group activities during a FaceTime call. You can also share your screen and show apps, webpages, and more during the conversation—show off a photo album, plan your next group vacation, or get feedback on something you’re working on—all while seeing and hearing the reactions of others on the call.
You can use the front camera to talk face-to-face, or switch to the rear camera to share what you see around you. To capture a moment of your conversation, take a FaceTime Live Photo.
Note: Not all features and content are available in all countries or regions.
