how do I show facetime on TV?

I have the rocketfish adapter, and can use the iPad to show netflix movies on my TV. How come I can't show facetime video on the TV?

iPad 2

No, you don't need an apple TV to mirror.


Assuming you are talking about this:

I believe most composite adapters are limited ot Video out capabilities of certain Apps, and so can't take advantage of mirroring. Facetime does not have actual Video out.


However if you have one of these:

You can use it to mirror the iPad's screen onto the TV, and as such have Facetime be seen on the TV.

This is of course assuming your Tv has an HDMI input.


That's what I use, and I can mirror just fine.

how do I show facetime on TV?
