facetime bug MacBook Pro 2020

when a FaceTime call surpasses one hour the screen goes blank and the pointer turns into the loading ball, multiple pop ups start appearing asking for passwords and the laptop won't run unless I hold down the power button and it restarts.

Hello maherar,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, after being on a FaceTime call for an hour the screen goes blank and the pointer turns into a beach ball. We'd like to help!


"If you need help with your connection or call quality

A slow or busy Wi-Fi network might cause issues with your FaceTime call. If you experience connection alerts or low-quality audio or video:

  • Make sure that you and your recipient have a fast Wi-Fi or cellular connection. FaceTime calls over Wi-Fi require a broadband connection.
  • Check for issues that might be slowing down your connection, such as someone streaming content over your network.
  • If you have questions about your Internet speed, contact your Internet service provider."
