Why is my FaceTime on my Mac so laggy?

When I call someone it works perfectly fine.

However, when I just open the application, I see the camera section after a while and it really takes like 3-4 seconds until the contacts appear.

Also when Is switch from 'all' to 'missed' it also is quite choppy and laggy.

MacBook Air (2018 or later)

Hello ThePrinceJozef,


After reviewing your post, it sounds like the FaceTime app is working, but seems to be a little laggy. One thing you can do is to boot using safe mode and see if the app is still laggy. Safe mode will disable other software loading in the background. Take a look at the If an issue doesn't happen in safe mode section.


Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac
