We have been experiencing and odd glitch with one of the members of our team. She is using the built in facetime camera on her Intel MacBook Pro. Periodically during meetings her video feed will flicker, go black and white, and sometimes actually show small frames of other participants' video in her square.
We've tried all the standard system troubleshooting for her camera and the problem persists. Anyone else seen anything like this? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
The effect when her video feed is glitching is reminiscent of a low quality analog video feed, like a closed circuit tv kind of. The strangest part is seeing the other participants' feeds show up in her frame.
yes this has also been happening to myself as well as other team members of our company since the upgrade. and i am not sure how to fix this issue because my job requires my video to be on at all times
Wow! I came here looking for a resolution to the same issue, which started happening to me TODAY as well (Jan. 11, 2023). My first meeting went fine, then I installed some f'n update, and the next meeting looked like a horror film on my camera. Like a shotty CCTV camera showing everyone's video feeds in black and white and green - turning the camera off and on only helped for a few seconds, then the same shtuff happened again. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!
I have also been experiencing this horror movie image since installing the last update. I couldn't solve it anyway, I tried reinstalling, restarting and all the other advice I got from their bot and nada. It drives me crazy
The facetime URL scheme is used to initiate a FaceTime call to a specified user. You can use the phone number or email address of a user to initiate the call. When a user taps a FaceTime link in a webpage, iOS confirms that the user really wants to initiate a FaceTime call before proceeding. When an app opens a URL with the facetime scheme, iOS opens the FaceTime app and initiates the call without prompting the user. When opening FaceTime URLs on macOS, the system always prompts the user before initiating a call.
To prevent users from maliciously redirecting calls or changing the behavior of a phone or account, the FaceTime app supports most, but not all, of the special characters in the facetime schemes. Specifically, if a URL contains the * or # characters, the app ignores those characters when they are included after the phone number. If your app receives URL strings from the user or from an unknown source, use the stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: method of NSString to generate a properly escaped version of the original string before opening the URL.
Note: If the FaceTime app is not installed on the iOS device or Mac, opening a facetime URL displays an appropriate warning message to the user. Prior to iOS 7, the Phone app handled FaceTime calls.
It's exactly as if all three devices were using the same Apple ID for FaceTime, but they're not, and they never have. My wife's phone is signed into her iCloud account and uses her phone number and email address for FaceTime; likewise, my phone and Mac are signed into my iCloud account and use my phone number and email address.
Why does this happen, and how can I prevent it? The only thing I can think of is that maybe my sister-in-law has both my wife's phone number and my phone number in the same contact card, so when she starts a FaceTime call, it goes out to both our numbers (and my Mac by extension)?
Yes - this technology seems to be driven by your contact card info stored by calling party. If calling party has info for you and someone else in same contact card, then both phones will ring for FaceTime even if not same Apple ID.
In our case, we had friend who had stored my number and husband's number (not email) under my contact card. Both our phones would ring when friend tried to FaceTime me, even though husband and I have separate Apple IDs and caller never selected the other number.
based on the information that I've read from the Apple forums, go into settings>facetime> and turn your iphone cellular calls off. Do this on both devices, this should stop the calls from going to both devices.

We're running 4.0.5 and Facetime does not work as the packets coming from Apple's servers via the Internet are dropped. I noticed there was an ALG for H.323 in 4.1 but wasn't sure if that was related to Facetime or if there was anothe work around.
It looks like it depends on "ichat-av, sip, ssl, stun" which means that you need to allow those aswell (I think you will get an error or warning otherwise if you try to commit with not all dependencies set).
I did see the PAN AppID for Facetime, was just trying to determine if allowing it was as simple as a rule allowing that application from the Internet to my LAN, or perhaps the other way around since the traffic is actually initiated from my LAN.
I created a policy from zone Internet to zone Internet from Any IP to my Dynamic NAT IP which allows "facetime, aim-base, web-browsing, ssl, stun, sip, ichat-av" and tested unsuccesfully. The outbond traffic is correctly identified, but the traffic comging back from Apple's servers is allowed, but identified as "insufficient-data."
The reason mine wasn't working out of the box was becaue I had an explicit deny for SIP traffic destined from my network to the Internet. And since the Facetime AppID is dependant on SIP, it failed without logging. Interestingly with the rule disalbed, Facetime is working but sip traffic is still not logged.
I was running 4.0.8 (can't remember the exact 4.0 release) and I didn't get a warrning because my policy for traffic destined for the internet from the LAN was 'any' and I just added exclusions to block SIP and SMTP. If I had put an explicit rule allowing Facetime from the LAN to the Internet then I would've gotten an error.
