Hide my image in Facetime

In OS 10.14.6, is there any way to hide my image when using Facetime? I don't want to see my own **** face when I'm on a call.

I've searched all over and can't find a solution better than my post-it-over-my-mug solution.

Thank you,

William

Thank you, Michelle. But I think I wasn't clear in my original post.

I want to keep the camera on, so the person I'm speaking with can see me. My FT window shows the other person, but it also shows me, in a smaller and movable frame. [Maybe that's called Picture in a Picture?].

How do I close/hide that frame, so I don't see myself, only the other person?

In iOS's FT, seeing oneself is more important, b/c the device is more likely to be move. But I use the OS on my iMac, which of course stays in place.

Does this help?

Thank you,

William

Hey William,


I see that you're wanting to hide the camera during a FaceTime call.


While on a FaceTime call, tap the screen then tap Camera Off to turn the camera off. If you do not see this option, the iOS version you have may not be compatible with this feature.


Have a great day.
