Facetime Conference: How many participants?

With Apple's free chat platform, users can stay in touch via video calls. Group calls are also easily possible with Facetime, but there is a limit here regarding the number of participants. Where the limit is and how to start a group meeting, we explain here.

This participant limit applies to Facetime conferences

Group calls on Facetime are more popular than ever, especially in Corona times. Even though the app is free and offers many features, the limit of participants on a Facetime conference is limited to a maximum of 32 people. However, it is convenient that even if there are many participants, the video tile of the person speaking in the meeting is always displayed larger than the rest of the participants.

How to start a Facetime conference and add people

1. To start a group call on Facetime, follow these steps:
2. Open Facetime and click the "Plus icon" (Add) in the top right corner.
3. Now enter the names, email addresses or phone numbers of the people you want to start a group call with.
4. Now click on "Audio" for an audio call or "Video."

If you want to add a person during a group call, click on the "Plus sign" again and enter the name or phone number of the person. Mit einem anschließenden Klick auf „Anrufen“ machen Sie den Teilnehmer auf den Anruf aufmerksam.
