Wow, thanks for the information regarding not showing the local camera.
Very useful.

I use facetime every day to talk to friends who have an iPhone or have a mac.
Facetime is accessible, and I can confirm it because I use it so often. As soon
as another friend of ours gets an iphone, we no longer use the regular phones
anymore. Facetime sounds very good and it's a breeze to use.
By the way: if you have an iPhone, you use FaceTime and you don't want others
to see you, although facetime is a video plus audio service, you can still turn
off your local camera that sends your looks to the other party. Just press home
on your iPhone. Facetime will continue to go, but from then on, you're only
transmitting audio, and your receiving party will see a cross through his
remote camera, which is you. It saves battery. To return to facetime, if you
want to send video again, look in the status bar on the right. You'll see a
button called: return to facetime. This also means that you can go to other
apps, for example to look up an address for your friend if you like, and then
return to facetime so you can later disconnect your call.
On the mac, I find the interface a little more difficult, but because facetime
is on every mac and iphone, and on several other i devices, no configuration is
needed. If your contact list on the phone or on the mac contains the mobile
number and or the apple ID email address of your other party, then you're good
to go.
Hth,
Paul.

Hi. Yes the person you are doing facetime with must have an Iphone or an Ipad.
They have to be a mac user of some kind.
