Same issue. It’s getting worse as the call doesn’t last more than 3 minutes

Temporary fix that has worked for me: turn off 'Center Stage' video effect (Swipe down on right hand side when in Facetime application to access video options). This was suggested on a Reddit thread, and a number of other people have reported that it works for them.


This obviously has the downside of disabling the wide camera view, which is inconvenient - but at least Facetime is usable. I hope Apple are monitoring this thread and find a permanent fix for the problem.
