To have a FaceTime call with one other person, you need a Mac with OS X Lion 10.7 or later, a broadband Internet connection, and a built-in or connected microphone or camera. Or use your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

To call a group of people, follow the steps in Use Group FaceTime on Mac.

Start a FaceTime call

The person you're calling doesn't need to have the FaceTime app open, but to receive the call on their Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, they do need to be signed in to FaceTime on that device. You can then call them using any phone number or email address they set up for FaceTime.

Start a call from the FaceTime app

Open the FaceTime app and enter the email address or phone number of the person that you want to call. If the person is in your Contacts app, you can enter just their name. Then click the Audio button or Video button to call.

Unlock your Apple Watch. Press the Digital Crown—which is the dial on the right side of the Apple Watch's housing—then enter your passcode and press the Digital Crown again. This should bring up a group of your current apps' icons. If doing this opens an app instead of the app group, press the Digital Crown one more time.

You can also just ask Siri to ”FaceTime John” or ”FaceTime audio Lisa,” for example.

Start a call from the messages app

  1. Start a text conversation in the Messages app, or select a conversation that's already underway.
  2. Click Details in the upper-right corner.
  3. Click the video button or audio button to open the FaceTime app and start the call.
