When using Facetime, the person on the other end can't see me - they can hear me, I can see and hear them.  Any help?  I have a 4S.

I have succesfully used it in the past without problems.

Hi mduggan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the other person can't see you during a FaceTime call, first use the Camera app on the iPhone to make sure the camera is working properly. If you don't see an image when using the Camera app, try these troubleshooting steps first:
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

If the camera is working normally, next troubleshoot FaceTime using the steps in this article:

  • No audio when using FaceTime on iPhone.

    No audio when using FaceTime on iPhone. The video works, but just static is heard during call. I have attempted multiple calls to another iphone and my mac. Should I send the phone in for repair?

    Hi Anne-Lill Holme,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not being heard during FaceTime calls on your iPhone 6, I recommend starting with these troubleshooting tips:
    Restart your device.
    If using FaceTime over a Wi-Fi network, go to the steps to resolve Wi-Fi network issues.
    From:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime
    Next, I recommend testing your iPhone 6 microphone in other applications, such as Voice Memos. 
    If you cannot be heard on recordings in other apps, see this article for additional troubleshooting help:
    If your voice is too faint or sounds unclear using iPhone, or iPod touch

  • I'm having trouble making calls with my Iphone 4. When I try to, the person on the other side can't hear me, and all I can hear are noises. But when I use apps like Viber or Facetime, I can make calls just fine! What may be the problem?

  • When I make a call, I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear me. It's not the mic, I use the voice recorder all the time and I have no problems w FaceTime. My headphones and Bluetooth do the same thing as far as not being able to be hea

    When I make a call, I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear me. It's not the mic bc face time or voice recorder are not affected. I can't even use my headphones or Bluetooth to get around the problem. This has stumped 2 geniuses, they just try to swap it out for $150.

    I am having the same issue with my iPhone 4. I can hear everyone but they can't hear me. Visited Apple Store and they said speakers were out, both bottom mic and top one for speaker phone. Said they were busted. Reloaded all software and didn't work. Got in parking lot and worked for 1 call. Now it's out again. Wanted $150 for new phone, haven't done it yet. don't know what to do.

    I saw one post where a user said dust got inside the small microphone hole. Using a vacuum cleaner removed the dust and restored the audio.

  • HT204380 When using facetime how many people can you be connected to at one given time? The reason for this question is I would like to utilize facetime for conference call meetings.

    When using facetime, how many people can you be connectedto at once? The reason I ask this question is, I am wanting to conduct teleconference meetings with my staff who are spread out throughout the state and I would like to be able to have seven people in total connected to facetime at once.

    Currently only one person. A lot of users want to be able to FT multiple users.
    Send feedback to Apple requesting it. Maybe in a future iOS update or iPad it will be available.

    I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call.  I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss.  The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens.  All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
    My Iphone5 was replaced and having same Problem. Only does this when using bluetooth for talking.

    I have the exact same issue... I've been using a Jabra Extreme2 and just this weekend, bought a Plantronics Marque2 and today had the same issue, so it's clearly not the headset but the phone or OS.
    I might try a restore and see if it helps...

  • If, using an iPad connected to wifi, I made a call to an iPhonxe 4S not connected to wifi using FaceTime, would it cost the person using the iPhone anything?

    If, using an iPad connected to wifi, I made a call to an iPhonxe 4S not connected to wifi using FaceTime, would it cost the person using the iPhone anything?

    At your end you will be using your WiFi signal. At the other end the iPhone would be using the 3G cellular signal. The cellular plan would need to be provisioned to allow FaceTime calls over cellular.

    Hello aalapdesai112,
    Lets see if we can get you back to taking calls normally again. Start your troubleshooting with the article below and go through checking to making sure that you are up to date with your iOS as well as a simple restart on your iPhone.

  • Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?

    Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?  How do I do that?

    They have to be either plugged in via headphone jack or the dock port at the bottom. If you can. I've used it on apple tv, but that's it. I don't know if the others work, but I don't see why not. Try plugging in speakers in the headphone jack. You will get an answer :)
