Facetime Stage manager

When I get a call Stage Manager removes the app I'm working in, just to display the tiny call notification. Is there a setting to make Facetime "always on top" of all previous apps?

iMac Pro, macOS 13.1

Hi, and welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.


Re: Is there a setting to make Facetime "always on top" of all previous apps?


Not that I know of.

Maybe something below can help:

__________________________________________________________________


Wondering which kind of notifications you receive for calls:


Eg: Banners appear in the upper-right corner and go away automatically.

Alerts stay on screen until dismissed.


How to: Change Notifications settings on Mac – Apple Support


or Change notification settings on iPhone – Apple Support

________________________________________________________________


If "Do Not Disturb" is an option:


How to: Set up a Focus on Mac – Apple Support


How to: Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Else: You might want to create a "custom" focus especially for when you are using FaceTime

__________________________________________________________________


Use Stage Manager to organize apps and windows on Mac - Apple Support


says: "When an app isn't visible because it's hidden or hasn't been used recently,

you can switch to that app in other ways, such as from the Dock or by pressing Command-Tab".


All the best :-)
