Hi emmylou65,

Camera effects in FaceTime calls are supported on iPad (6th generation) and later. Please check out this link, which outlines the requirements and models that support camera effects in FaceTime calls on iPad, and may help: Add camera effects in FaceTime calls on iPad

Add camera effects in FaceTime calls on iPad

On video calls using the FaceTime app , you can become your favorite Memoji or Memoji character (on models with a TrueDepth camera). On supported models, you can use a built-in filter to change your appearance and add stickers, labels, and shapes. You can take screenshots in FaceTime that include the special camera effects you add to a call.

Thank you.
