Wish you could do it without using FaceTime like so two people could watch the same thing on a phone, computer, tablet without having to share your face.

I’m pretty sure you can just flick the face of the other person offscreen like normal so you don’t have to see the other person. I’ve done this when sharing the screen normally.

[@jaiskreno]

You can do that.thats the reason they showed that you can go out of facetime into messages so like you can text with friends rather than talk
