Sorry, must have had a "senior moment" there and confused FaceTime with Screen Time.

FaceTime is an app, but it only comes with macOS installation. It is not available as a separate download from Mac App Store.

If it's not visible in the Dock, look for it in the Applications folder. You can also perform a Spotlight/Siri search for it by name.

Some countries do not allow it and it can be restricted by the computer Administrator.

Your latter suggestion was what I needed. I found it in applications and it is now on the dock so I can call it up when I need it. It did bring up one other issue when I called using FaceTime and that is how to get the camera to go to full screen instead of a narrow view. Is that predetermined or can it be changed to a wider view in the camera?
