Create a link to a FaceTime call on Mac

1. In the FaceTime app on your Mac, sign in.

2. Click Create Link.

3. Choose how you want to share the link. For example, choose Messages to send a text message to someone that includes the link for a FaceTime call.

In the Calendar app , you can add a FaceTime video call to calendar events.

If you created a link for a FaceTime call, you can start the call either from an app (for example, in a Messages conversation, click Join) or from FaceTime. If you created the link in the last day or so, you see it in the list of recent calls in the Upcoming section; otherwise, you see it in the date-based section — for example, below Last Week.

1. In the FaceTime app on your Mac, move the pointer over the call window and find the call made with a FaceTime link, then click the Video button .

2. Click Join.

The originator of the FaceTime link can let you in to the call immediately. Other callers (who are using Apple devices, who have been approved and who have joined the call for at least 30 seconds) can also approve (or decline) requests to join the call.

You know that a new caller is waiting when a badge appears on the Sidebar button .

1. While on a call in the FaceTime app on your Mac, click the Sidebar button when the badge appears.

2. Do one of the following:

   • Allow the caller to join the call: Click the Approve Join Request button .

   • Don’t allow the caller to join the call: Click the Decline Join Request button .

To turn off the audio alert when a new person joins the call, click the Sidebar button , then select Silence Join Requests.

When you no longer need a FaceTime link that you created, you can delete it.

1. In the FaceTime app on your Mac, check the list of callers for the call made with a FaceTime link.

2. Click the Info button , then click Delete Link.
