FaceTime suddenly appeared on my MacBook Pro. I didn't ask for it, don't want it and never use it. How do I make it go away? I'm sick of looking at my face on my desk top. If I can't uninstall it I would like to know how to turn the camera off. Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6. I hope someone out there can help. Many thanks
MacBook Pro, iOS 10, 10.13.6
Hi macjack,
Brilliant!!!
1. I couldn't do this as there wasn't a delete button for me to click on.
2. Worked a treat! I no longer have to look at my ugly mug every time I log in. Yay!!!
Thank you so much.

Hi Macjack,
Thank you for your very quick response. How frustrating that you can't uninstall FaceTime. I can quit it but what I would like to know is, can I stop it from opening in the first place, when I log in?
It shouldn't open on Login. If it does that there are 2 places to check:
1. Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items and use the ➖ button to remove FaceTime.
2. Check in Apple menu > Shutdown, Restart, Logout, and uncheck the box "Reopen windows when logging back in"
You can force quit it by holding: command, option and escape. Select FaceTime to quit out of it if it won't let you quit it normally.
FaceTime is a default Mac OS app, you cannot uninstall it. If you quit FaceTime, it should stop bothering you?
You're welcome. Glad it's sorted.
How do I uninstall FaceTime?
