The FaceTime notification won't disappear

The Help file finally figured it out for me (search the word "clear"). When you open the facetime window it shows you your recent calls. Just right-click (control-click) any clear area on that list pane (I clicked below it) and it offers you the option to clear the recent calls list. They disappear. This got rid of the notification immediately.

For me, I don't have a camera on my Mac. So the notification was stuck. I couldn't access FaceTime Preferences because FaceTime never truly activated due to there not being a camera.

What I did was open up Notification Center:

Top Right on the Status Bar there are three horizontal bars like a bar graph, click those

Then you can X out of the "Missed" notifications, just like if you dragged the top of the screen down on your iPhone/iPod

Then I disabled notifications for FaceTime by going to:

Apple Logo > System Preferences > Notifications

Finding FaceTime in the list and deselecting all the checkboxes

What everyone is seeing to this particular problem is the "Notification Badge app icon" for FaceTime, Not a missed call although it shows the same Red indicator as well.

All you need to do is go to system preferences->Notifications-> and scroll down to FaceTime. Look to the right of that and if your like me you uncheck the Badge App icon box and you should see that annoying red notification disappear.

Now I don't know if its a bug or a conflict with the new OS X El Capitan or other OS versions but this will fix that problem.

Let me know if this works for everyone.

OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.12

SOLUTION:

I found this out of frustration and i didnt have to clear recents.

1) Open FaceTime

2) Click the Window tab and select Close

3) Quit and Relaunch FaceTime

Worked for me! Hope it helps 🙂

I had an Audio notification - clicked on Audio, clicked back to Video in the FaceTime application and it went away.

For me I had this problem a few minutes ago and what I did was go to the notification center and just got rid of everything that would deal with facetime notifications and that got rid of it.

Same here, I HATE IT. !😠!

I just fixed this on mine, and I think this is what did it:

1) Quit Application

2) Right click on Facetime icon in dock

3) Click on "Show Recents" near the bottom

4) Screen should show dimmed desktop, clear of all app windows

5) Click anywhere and it should return to the previously occupied desktop, minus the missed call badge on the dock icon.

note: This is after I cleared the missed and recent calls in a furious frenzy, so I'm not sure if this will show other calls or missed ones if one hasn't cleared them yet, but in the future, I'll just keep all my missed calls and click the arrows for info on each one, perhaps I deleted the call without checking the info and the badge got stuck...

Anyway, hope this helps.

OMG, I hate this!! I've tried everyone's response in hear and it is not working for my system. Let me try again in an hour when I am in a better place mentally. 😠 It shouldn't be this difficult, right?...

Solution:

Turn FaceTime "On"

Go to FaceTime > Preferences

Screen should popup on right of video and select missed calls > clear.

All the previous suggestions didn't work for my but this one did.... thanks

Problem if the list is so long that there is no clear area !

I thought that looking ℹ at each red marked recent call would clear, but no.

THank you so much, yes this worked for me,

Thanks this worked for me!!!!

FINALLY. Thank you!!!!
