  • FaceTime is Apple’s video service. It allows you to stay connected to family and friends over Wi-Fi or cellular data. The best part about FaceTime is seeing the other individuals. You can have as many as 32 people on a call, although I think that’s a little crazy.

    Love how you speak gently and slowly while explaining how to Face Time
    You are an excellent teacher. Thank you

    You did an awesome presentation.
    I have been a geriatric nurse for over 25 years. What a wonderful thing to do to help people stay connected to loved ones who are not close, in Assisted Living or LTC.
    Everyone needs facial contact. During Covid-19, this has been a Blessing. 😇

    Is it possible for a FaceTime group call to access both my iPhone and iPad in order to have two different screen views? My daughter and son-in-law play Yahtzee with me weekly. I always borrow my housemate’s phone because I need one screen for the die and one for my face.

    • @EllensTipsForiOS
      @EllensTipsForiOS  Před 3 lety

      Hi Bonnie! What a great question! I don’t believe that’s possible because you’re signed into the same Apple ID on both. You could try adding the email address of the iPad and the phone number of the iPhone into the group call and then see if they both ring. I’m not sure it would work but worth a try.

    • @EllensTipsForiOS
      @EllensTipsForiOS  Před rokem

      Hi Jill, Open the FaceTime app on your iPad. You might see some contacts listed there. If not tap on New FaceTime. If the contact is in your contacts list just tap the + sign in the To: field us the search bar to find them. Now tap on their phone # or email address it should be the one associated with their Apple ID. Now the call should connect.

      Hi Muhammad! If you're trying to use FaceTime over cellular, make sure that Use Cellular Data is on for FaceTime. Go to Settings and tap Cellular or tap Mobile Data, then turn on FaceTime. If you're using an iPad, you might see Settings > Cellular Data. Go to Settings > FaceTime and make sure that FaceTime is on. With an iPad you must have Cellular service.

      Hi Marilyn, you should be able to get rid of it from the Contacts app. That’s where the old email should be stored and then you can add the new one. You could also just type in the email address when you’re ready to FaceTime by clicking on the + sign. If you need further help let me know.

      The people that show up in your FaceTime contacts list come from your Contacts app. You would add them there, and as long as they have FaceTime toggled on in their device they should show up in yours.

    You made a video assuming that someone has a whole list of contacts to choose from. I have spent months trying to set up an iPad for my mom so that she can see people from the nursing home she lives in. I spent all that I could to try to get this iPad that I cannot set up. Nothing on this video tells me how to add a contact to actually set it up for her to access. Ridiculous that iPads are so stupidly difficult for every single step.

    • @EllensTipsForiOS
      @EllensTipsForiOS  Před rokem

      Sorry you’re having such a hard time using FaceTime Brenda and that the video didn’t help. FaceTime can be activated by using an email address or phone number, or your contacts lists. It’s just easier to access if you have some contacts set up. I’d love to help your Mother get her iPad set up it really isn’t that difficult. Let me know how I can help.
