Thank you for all your videos. I have forwarded a few to my mother in law who is 80 and this really helps her since we are 3 hour away and she just got a new iPhone. You explain every so simple and clear. I even found something I learned at 60. Thanks again.
Hi Rich, I have really enjoyed watching your videos, and have started to share them with many of my clients. I worked for Apple as a Creative (trainer) for 4 years and started private one on one coaching on Apple applications and devices after I left Apple. Most of my clients are seniors (I am a senior myself), and I think your videos will help my clients better understand the lessons I provide. You have built the PERFECT channel in my opinion, there are so many seniors with technology who don’t know how to use their devices (including computers) who will benefit from your videos. Thank you Rich, best wishes to you.😊
Wow! Thanks so much for the kind words. Not to mention someone coming from Apple who did the same thing. I'm honored you think highly of the videos and were kind enough to watch and share. You're comment made my day!
Thanks, I have an iPad and a couple of friends with iPhones. Pretty sure I can figure it out from watching this. I have had the new iPad since March of last year and haven't tried using FaceTime. My phone is android so I know I can use Face Time on my iPad. I appreciate your clear and to the point video. Awesome of you family to help too
Thank You for all the help. I 'm going to be 71 this trip around. I just switched from a flip phone to an iPhone. Your videos are well done and packed with information.
You are right. If the other person is using an android device,there’s no way to FaceTime. I just watched this video. I wish my family would switch to iPhone. iMessage works from iPhone to android,but not FaceTime. I did learn how.Thanks again my friend.
I'm not a senior (yet) but I am a new iPhone user just having ourchased an iPhone SE 3. I find your videos extremely helpful coming from android. Thank you!
Your videos are great in both presentation and material. In the later IOS, people can use iphone to Facetime video conference with Android phone users by giving them a link to accept the Facetime call. Also, do want to mention that people can establish the Facetime call through email addresses, besides phone number. Thanks.
Yes! Great points all. This video is a little older and I'll be making an update soon. I hope others see you comments because of the great tips. Thanks!
@@RichBowlin The SE 3 is a little workhorse, I can tell you that. Old form factor with a Ferrari engine under the hood! 5G (sub6), Deep Fusion, Smart HDR4, Neural Engine, A15 Bionic chipset (same as the iPhone 13 series), darn good camera that takes excellent photos and videos, Apple Photographic Styles (like the iPhone 13 has and the 14 will have), decent battery life for the size of the phone and *yes* , I like the old form factor better than the newer form factor...rounded edges, thinner, etc. However there is no 'Night Mode' for low-lit photography and videography and there is no 'Cinematic Mode'. Both of these features are standard on the iPhone 13 models. But boy does the SE 3 itself *scream* with speed!
@@stevennovakovich2525 So because you really like your SE3, I went by AT&T and played around with it. I forgot how much I like the size and form factor. Plus I could use it in my videos. My wife will kill me if I buy another iPhone. If all my videos suddenly stop you'll know what happened.
I really am enjoying your videos, learning a lot. I appreciate that you are not talking and moving so fast that I cannot keep up as so many of the other videos have done. Thank you so much
Thanks, Rich, your videos and info are really clear, easy to understand, and informative. The other great quality of your videos is the speed at which you speak. My hearing and understanding doesn't have any trouble keeping up with your speaking :-)
Hey thanks from one senior to another. I’m glad I came across this particular one on FaceTime. My family does this a lot. I thought I knew something but I didn’t know about the multiple FaceTime calls. Now I’m going to really annoy my kids🤣
I love your iPhone presentations, Rich! Clustering together "like items" makes great sense to me, as it seems easier to learn. I have watched 4 iPhone presentations - are there any more? If so, how do I find them? I tried searching for iPhone 5, but no luck. Is there a #5??
One step that is left out is what the receiver will see and what they need to do. You mentioned in the last example that your daughter hit her Facetime button. Is that all that the receiver should do for any Facetime call? What should the receiver expect to see on his/her screen? Most tutorials show only what the "senior" needs to do to make the call.
Thanks for this! I sent it to someone who needs it! Is there a way to get the numbers of friends, like calling 411 in the old days? Is there now an automated way to do that? Thanks so much for your help!
If the other person doesn't hit their ft icon will they still be able to see me ? (Yes each party having an iphone) yes I know time to buy smart phones for dummies! Great video Rich !
Thank you Rich. This sounded simple, but it don't help me :( I had a call come in today from my doctor and could not get it. I don't have a icon that says face time. I have a Samsung Galaxy A03s , phone. Just my luck. Thank you again, for helping others
Hi Cathy. Yes, FaceTime is for iPhones. But thank you for taking the time to write a few kind words to me. My videos are pretty much related to the iPhone and iPad. Maybe someday if you end up with one of these devices, my videos will help you get started. Thanks so much for watching.
Hi Rich, I am new subscriber and finding many helpful tips. I am an insurance broke and have been a PC user because many company interfaces did not work with Apple. That is no longer the case and I am moving to an I Pad Pro for my daily driver. Having an ear phone jack is important as I can use my Rode Video mikes. Sorry to see that feature go away with ne’er models. Will look forward to a video showing how you edit on the I Pad Pro, connecting to printers and maybe faxing from the I Pad and connection to external monitors. It takes a lot of skill to understand a subject so well that you can make it seem really simple. Like our W,C. Clark playing Chicago Electric Blues at the Continental Club. TX Jack, Austin
question... it seems like the facetime was answered but neither one of us could see or hear the other just ourselves... and im pretty sure my mic n camera was turned on... what would be a problem
HI! Wife got her first Iphone and we are enjopying learning how to use it...BUT...big question doing those FACE TIME CALLS: does that work when the person you are calling has an Android telephone? Does it only work Apple to Apple?...no lemons, huh? RSVP--we are learning how to use her new phone THANKS to YOU!!!
In the past, FaceTime only worked with other people who had iDevices and FaceTime enabled. With iOS/iPadOS 16, You can create a FaceTime link and share it with your contacts who don't have iPhones. I haven't tried it, so I don't know how well it works, but it is now an option.
Thanks Rich! Could you make a video how to get back to the facetime video call when you accidentally exit and open another app. I’m having an awfully difficult time showing my mom from a distance. Sorry if it’s rude to make such a request. Thank you!
Tks I"ve been having trouble getting a good angle. Just got a new iphone, long time coming. a 15. I'm a senior. Want to talk to grandkids. I sure hate my wrinkles showing. h aha . Any help??? My angle is way off. also have ipad. thats the worst so i refuse to use it,,,angle
Hi Rick Looks like a skype, whatsapp or messenger etcetera to me, Wonder if you call someone who doesn't have an apple iPhone but an android or something, does facetime work with that too? Have had an iPhone for some several years by now my 2nd one But had actually never used facetime because I had already skype, messenger, whatsapp on it And wonder what be than the added value of use facetime actual ? I had hoped that after watching your video I would find out more
Hi John - FaceTime only works between Apple devices. It's an Apple product designed to work on iPhones , iPads and Macs. I prefer it's ease of use, but I always say use what feels and works best for you. Thanks for watching!
Tried using your instrument using Contacts. My cousin is now in my contacts using her recent email. She doesn’t have a phone number because I am international. The FaceTime icon is blocked out. We both have iPhones. What’s wrong?
Good question. That's why I made this video in hopes it would help some people learn how to make FaceTime calls. It's not as good as seeing someone in person, but it's great when you can't be together.
thank you for sharing the tips, in the easy, simple way, that I can follow and practice.
I remember from my childhood back in the 60´s how Disney had science fiction stories with "see who you talk to telephones."
Great set of videos for us 'old timers' who still remember using a 'shared phone line'.
Thanks! Most young people don't even know what a phone booth is. But they sure know tech! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for all your videos. I have forwarded a few to my mother in law who is 80 and this really helps her since we are 3 hour away and she just got a new iPhone. You explain every so simple and clear. I even found something I learned at 60. Thanks again.

This is great. My elderly dad needs help with learning to FaceTime. This will help him.
Thanks you have helped so many by keeping it simple.👍

Thanks so much

Great video series, Rich! I recently purchased an iPhone SE 2022 (3rd gen) and I absolutely love it! Your videos have helped immensely!
I have the fancy super-expensive iPhone 12 Pro Max but I'm thinking about getting the SE. I still love the home button. Thanks for watching!

Ur family gives the “perfect family” vibes
Yes! I have a great family. Thanks for watching!
I’m not a senior citizen at this point (although in about 30 years I will be 😁) but I find your vids very useful… thank you!
Glad you like them!
Your videos are very essentials ,easy to understand and most simple.Congratulations
Glad you like them!
In TampertownNY face timing is the weapon of choice “that’s the guy right there. “
Hey thanks from one senior to another. I’m glad I came across this particular one on FaceTime. My family does this a lot. I thought I knew something but I didn’t know about the multiple FaceTime calls. Now I’m going to really annoy my kids🤣
Lindsay is lucky to have such a nice competent dad.

Thanks for watching! They're on my channel. If you subscribe or click on just on my name you'll see all the iPhone videos. I hope they help!
so helpful, thanks so much for these videos
Thank you for showing how to make 3 way Facetime calls!
You are so welcome!
I’m not sure why I thought this was so difficult… Thanks for this video!
You're welcome! Glad it helped.

As usual great info 👍👍👍👍👍
I am finding this really helpful! thank u so much! 😀👍👍
You're more than welcome. Glad it helped you out a little bit.
Excellent instructions. I should be able to Face Time now. Thank you!
You're welcome. Glad it helped!
thank you for doing this video. Just the right video I was looking for on youtube
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for this! I sent it to someone who needs it! Is there a way to get the numbers of friends, like calling 411 in the old days? Is there now an automated way to do that? Thanks so much for your help!
Unless I'm not understanding something, you would just add your friends as contacts on your phone.
“Dick Tracy” technology 😂😂😂. I always hear it referred to as “Star Trek” tech
HA! I'm old I guess....I always think of the Dick Tracy watch I saw in cartoons as a kid.
The best Videos ever 🥰
Hay Rich do you know why my iPhone and iPad messenger no longer sync together?
Great
Great presentation
Very sweet video ❤
Nice information. Thank you sir..
If the other person doesn't hit their ft icon will they still be able to see me ? (Yes each party having an iphone) yes I know time to buy smart phones for dummies! Great video Rich !
No. The answering party needs to accept the FT call to see you. Thanks for watching!
Thank You.
Great info, thanks
You bet!
Thank you Rich. This sounded simple, but it don't help me :( I had a call come in today from my doctor and could not get it. I don't have a icon that says face time. I have a Samsung Galaxy A03s , phone. Just my luck. Thank you again, for helping others

Thanks so much! Welcome!
Such a great series. So simple to use. Well done.
Glad you like it!
Thanks Rich That was really helpful!
Glad to hear it!
I am wondering if one can use a desk top conputer, to do a face time call?

question... it seems like the facetime was answered but neither one of us could see or hear the other just ourselves... and im pretty sure my mic n camera was turned on... what would be a problem
Thanks!
Wow! Thanks so much!
Your videos are wonderful
You are so kind
How do you flip the out facing camera during a FT call?
HI! Wife got her first Iphone and we are enjopying learning how to use it...BUT...big question doing those FACE TIME CALLS: does that work when the person you are calling has an Android telephone? Does it only work Apple to Apple?...no lemons, huh? RSVP--we are learning how to use her new phone THANKS to YOU!!!

Thanks alot……
You're welcome. Hope the video helped!
I don't know if it's a technical problem but it seems to me we should be able to go to other phones instead of Their Own I think they're losing out
I just want use it to find my phone !! Don't want a picture just want it to ring
Thanks Rich! Could you make a video how to get back to the facetime video call when you accidentally exit and open another app. I’m having an awfully difficult time showing my mom from a distance. Sorry if it’s rude to make such a request. Thank you!
Not rude at all! It's so easy to swipe the phone during a call and not figure out how to get back. Great video idea!
Can you make Video Chat on a smartphone .
Excelent
Have you got video for ipad toset sister in newzealand
Tks I"ve been having trouble getting a good angle. Just got a new iphone, long time coming. a 15. I'm a senior. Want to talk to grandkids. I sure hate my wrinkles showing. h aha . Any help??? My angle is way off. also have ipad. thats the worst so i refuse to use it,,,angle
Hard to say...I know some actors like the camera slightly above their head so they're looking up.
the one using my contacts doesn't work
there is no facetime button
With facetime calll you you see the person at the other end.
FaceTime calls do allow you to see the other person. It's like you're talking in person.
I need someone to help me reset in setting for FT. Which setting should be on or off. Green or not. 0:33
What exactly do you need help with? That time stamp you put doesn't correlate with what you're asking.
You failed to discuss how to answer a FaceTime call.
Hi Rick
Looks like a skype, whatsapp or messenger etcetera to me,
Wonder if you call someone who doesn't have an apple iPhone but an android or something,
does facetime work with that too?
Have had an iPhone for some several years by now my 2nd one
But had actually never used facetime because I had already skype, messenger, whatsapp on it
And wonder what be than the added value of use facetime actual ?
I had hoped that after watching your video I would find out more

Hi! You need a phone number for FaceTime to work. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
I wish you had discussed how to accept a FaceTime call.
Yep. It's simple - like answering the phone. I should have shown that. Thanks for watching!
How to do FaceTime call when people don’t have an Apple FaceTime phone
hello kktc den
If old people can’t make a FaceTime call, how are they going to get here?
Good question. That's why I made this video in hopes it would help some people learn how to make FaceTime calls. It's not as good as seeing someone in person, but it's great when you can't be together.
iPhone Forever❤❤❤❤❤
This video is useless calling an Android phone.
That's because Apple didn't allow FaceTime calls to non-Apple phones at the time the video was released. Its not a "useless" video....
