FaceTime Video Voicemail?

I doubt they'd allow the level of access you'd need to implement such a thing in an App Store app, ...

Appreciate the response though!

Curious if anyone has thought up something like this? Like a recorded video of yourself saying 'hi, leave a video voicemail'. I noticed that FaceTime rings and rings until someone decides to hang up and there isn't even a regular voicemail option.


Thoughts?

Hi,

Late to the party.

This was apparently tried in a Pre-release of the Leopard version of iChat but did not make it to the full release.

There seems to be no suggestions why it was stopped. (or even passed over to FaceTime).

Part of the issues may have deciding on the length of time allocated to the incoming "Voice Mail" which would in fact also be stored on the iPhone or Mac.

Storing the Video Messages Created at server level would be a whole new ball game and move Apple closer to being a full on Carrier.

Hi,

These Discussions are User to User in the main.

There are two exceptions:-

Hosts (moderators) who move Posts that are deemed to break the rules to places where the public cannot read them (they are never deleted).

Community Specialists who are supposed to pick up Posts that have not replies after they drop of the "front" page of a community. In an "average" forum that is about 24 hours after the initial post. However in fast moving areas in can be less.

Rather than posting direct answers they post links and quotes to Knowledge Base Documents.

Feedback starts here http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Messages has a specific page from there http://www.apple.com/feedback/messages.html

Although not listed on the main feedback page there is also one fro iChat (messages Predecessor) http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html

There does not appear to be a FaceTime one.

SIMPLE! = SKYPE why all this rigamole with Apple "feedback" / "communities" does this message go to Apple feedback, or does one have to sped more meaningless time trying to communicate with the largest corporation on the planet?

I was thinking of the same idea, a friend told via tango supports this, but i said to my self, i have a phone thats worth 700 with out a phone contract. The least apple could do is add a simple feautre to its os software. Im sure it wouldnt Be that hard.

I'm glad I'm not the only person wondering about this. Why hasn't apple added it as a feature yet? We can send recorded video messages to each other via MMS, why not add it facetime? We should be able to setup a 10-15 second outgoing video in case me miss a facetime call or decide not to answer it, and then the caller should be able to record a 15-25 second responce.

COME ON APPLE!! Quit d*cking around with Siri and get on this.

Yeah I had the same idea!.. just like when you call someone and they don't answer, your able to leave a voicemail recording. When trying to call someone on FaceTime and they don't answer, you should be able to leave a video recording for them to watch when they get back to their iPhone

Hi,

What FaceTime can do. Use FaceTime with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Leaving any sort of Message does not appear to one of the features.

I was just thinking about this. 😎 It would be such a cool feature as oppose to getting the face time not avalible message.

I've been wondering this myself. It would be great to be able to leave a video message when your facetime person doesn't answer.

Hi I was asking how do you leave a message on FaceTime Audi
