FaceTime on my Mac computer

Hello Rabbitness,

FaceTime is apart of the operating system and is on your Mac by default and should be under the Applications folder. The following steps will help you use it, Make calls in FaceTime on Mac - Apple Support

In the FaceTime app  on your Mac, sign in and make sure FaceTime is turned on.

Click New FaceTime.

To add callers to the New FaceTime window, do any of the following:

Enter the email address or phone number of the person you want to call. You may need to press Return.

If you have a card for the person in the Contacts app, you can just enter the person’s name, or select them from Suggested. For information about adding contacts, see Add contacts while using FaceTime.

If you’re restricted to calls with only certain people, an hourglass icon  appears next to those people you can’t call.

Note: When a person’s name is blue, they have an Apple ID and you can reach them directly on FaceTime—the call rings on their Apple devices. When a person’s name is green, you can click “Invite with Messages” to send them a text message with a link. When a person’s name is red, that contact cannot be reached by Messages. You should instead create and share a link to start a FaceTime call.

To start a FaceTime video call, click FaceTime. To start a FaceTime audio call, click  and select FaceTime Audio. (You can also use the Touch Bar).

If you choose FaceTime Audio and you’re set up to make phone calls on your Mac, you can choose whether to make a FaceTime audio call or a phone call. When you’re in an audio call or a phone call, the camera is automatically off.

After you’re on a FaceTime call, you can add more people to a FaceTime call, change your view of the call, pause the call, change audio options on the call, share a link to the call, or end the call. You can also use SharePlay to share music, movies, or TV shows with others during a FaceTime call.

Note: Not all features and content are available in all countries or regions. See the Apple Support article Availability of Apple Media Services.

If you make a video call that’s declined or unanswered, you can click the Message button  to send the person an iMessage (both of you must be signed in to iMessage).

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities!
