keypad during FaceTime call?

So if I make a FaceTime call on my iMac via my iPhone 6, where's my keypad?


Did they seriously forget to include that little bit of functionality?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Sorry for the yelling here but really Apple ➖! Here is the issue, you make a call and then try to use the keypad, I did just this. NOTHING BLOODY HAPPENS!!! Of course reading the smarty pants on this forum who say it's obvious NO IT'S NOT as the window that pops is not in focus UNTIL YOU CLICK ON IT.


So in summary to use the keypad click on call window first and then you can use the keypad. This seems like a major fail UI wise, Apple trying to be minimalist but confusing the sh*^( out of the majority of users. I'm pretty savvy user with but this stumped me so the vast majority of users will indeed think there is no keypad. Heck apple just hide it by default but add a little button that forces us to get the window in to focus so we can use our physical keyboards or better still the trackpad / mouse and a virtual one.
