Can not use facetime portrait mode ipad & ios 14.x? So I have an M1 iPad pro running 14.8. In Facetime there seems to be NO WAY for me to select "portrait mode (blurred background)." I bring up the "control panel" but it is in the bottom left corner, not right as all the apple documents say it is. Yes there is an Effects button. EXCEPT aside to a ton of basically picture image possibilities, nowhere can I see any relating to blur, or portrait mode. I can use that function just fine in the zoom app, just not in apple's own software. Not happy that I HAVE to be in a live Facetime call to even try and monkey with this. Oh, does such a setting persist from call to call, or do I have to re-enable it every single time?

How do I use the new facetime portait mode on Macbook 2020 Air? I updated my Macbook Air 2020 to macOS Monteray version 12.1. However, when I try to use Facetime, it doesn't give me the option to use portrait mode as my phone does. I also checked for it on the control center and it doesn't appear there. The screen share button also doesn't seem to work. In this case, what do I do?

Third-party software will not work with FaceTime, despite the expectation that it might after the success in using iGlasses with Zoom, etc.

iGlasses does not work with Skype either.

This is due to the security restrictions on virtual cameras which Ecamm explains here.
