Hello idwan,


As long as the external speakers have a microphone, they will work with FaceTime. This includes Headphones too.


You can also pair Bluetooth speakers that have a microphone, to your iPad with the steps here: Set up and use Bluetooth accessories on iPad – Apple Support


  1. "Follow the instructions that came with the device to put it in discovery mode.
  2. Note: To pair AirPods, see the instructions for your model in the “Pair and connect” section in the AirPods User Guide.
  3. On iPad, go to Settings  > Bluetooth, turn on Bluetooth, then tap the name of the device.

iPad must be within about 33 feet (10 meters) of the Bluetooth device."


Cheers!
