FaceTime overlays itself over all other apps after Monterey update and i cant see how to turn that off.

FaceTime overlays itself over all other apps after Monterey update and i cant see how to turn that off. It makes FaceTime calling a pain because I cannot search for stuff or help whoever ink calling if they ask me questions or anything like that. I can't see my other apps at all because FaceTime just automatically places itself over any apps I use. When it is in window mode, clicking next to it does nothing. it selects whatever is behind FaceTime but does not push whatever I click in front of FaceTime like it used to do. how can I turn this off so that FaceTime stays in the same place and turn the camera on and off by itself like it did on Big Sur?
