Face Time Isn't Ringing on MacBook Pro

I have a new MacBook Pro. My son called me via FaceTime several times but it did not ring, make a sound or give me any notification. I tried going to settings in FaceTime to poke around - but nothing. However, when I called my son from my FaceTime on my MacBook Pro he received a notification that I was calling. Please note I don't have an iPhone. My son does have an iPhone if it makes any difference.


Thank you.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.4

Did you make sure that in FaceTime/Settings on your Mac, that you are logged in with your Apple Account, and your eMail address is selected in the section "Receive FaceTime calls"?

Your son used your mail address to call on on FaceTime?
