Facetime notifications on Mac

I accidentally deleted FaceTime from the list in System Preferences > Notifications. How do I add it back so I can receive notifications when I have an incoming FaceTime call on my Mac? Below is the screenshot, I only have notifications for Messages coming in right now.


MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

Hello kleigh24,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that FaceTime has been accidentally deleted from Notifications in the System Preferences on your Mac. It's important that you're able to manage your notifications how you want. You've come to the right place for help.


I would like to have you try the following steps, testing if FaceTime reappears in Notifications after each step:


  1. Quit System Preferences: Quit apps - Mac Help
  2. Restart your Mac: How to turn your Mac on or off - Apple Support
  3. Confirm that you can open and use FaceTime on your Mac: Use FaceTime on your Mac - Apple Support


Keep us posted on the results.


Cheers!
