Hello Erikasgma,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Are you experiencing this behavior with a specific contact or multiple? Were you able to use turn on video when you initiate a FaceTime call with this contact in the past? If so, when did this issue first started?


What happens if you tried to initiate a video call using a third-party app? Does it work as expected? This will help us isolate this issue further and see if it's happening only with FaceTime or with every calling app using the camera?


To get started check with the recipient if they have any restrictions set up on their camera that prevent them from using it during FaceTime calls. For more information, please check this out:

We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
