Not possible. The FaceTime app is not airplay-enabled.
Thanks. Any insight that it will be supported in the next iOS release.
no one here works for Apple. We would have no more way of knowing than you do.
Apple hasn't said anything about the next iOS, and as they are very tight-lipped about such things nobody here will be able to give you any details about it (that kind of speculation is not allowed by the terms of this forum).
You guys are absolutely wrong about facetime not being able to mirror to Apple TV. I just tried it and it worked perferctly, both from my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. I was thinking that it wouldn't since video cannot be mirrored to Apple TV, but all my other Apps works great with mirroring, so I was hoping facetime would work as well. I tried it several times and it worked like a charm. I now have three ways to use my large flat screen HDTV to do video chat. One is to use facetime on iPad 2 or iPhone 4S along with Apple TV. Second is to use Skype on iPad 2 or iPhone 4S with Apple TV. And lastly, which has best video but audio is not as good because location of Logitech webcam is so far away. This third way of video calling through a big flat screen tv is to use a Mac mini or any other apple computer that can be connected to your tv along with Logitech HD webcam to make video calls. The first two ways have the best audio for the other party to hear you, since the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S is right in your hands, therefore the mic is only a foot or two away, but video from both devices is not as good as the Logitech C910 HD webcam. As for audio from the person you are chating with, it sounds awesome for all three ways if you have your tv connected to a home theater system. Hope this help answer your question.
When you have a iOS device which is airplay mirorring capable (iPhone 4S or iPad 2), you cann mirror anything you want to apple tv, also facetime calls.
So if this can work, how do you do it? If you could give detailed instructions, they would be greatly appreciate. I have been unable to see how to make it work. Thanks!
Ah, so it doesn't actually work through just the Apple TV then right with Airplay right? Thanks.
With that adapter & an HDMI cable, you can mirror anything on an iPhone 4S(including FaceTime calls) with your TV. It works great by the way.
Right, and that I understand. What I was looking to do was Airplay to the Apple TV and Facetime. Thanks for the info though. Take care and God bless!
I did figure out how to do this with my iPad 2 in doing FaceTime. I just double tap the home key and swipe to the right and then there is an AirPlay option to mirror the iPad. Then it will show your iPad on the screen and you can then use FaceTime on your Apple Tv.
