Video Conference needs a paid plan.
Start or schedule a conference
- Open Settings → Video Conference.
- Under Start a Video Conference, click Start to begin now. Send the link to anyone, or ring your friends and Team from Add people in the call.
- To set one for later, click Schedule conference. Choose When it starts, How long, and How often, add people or an email, and save. The link stays the same, so people can save it now. Friends and teammates get an email.
Captions
In a call, Captions turns them on or off.
Notes
Notes records the call, recognizes who is speaking, and writes a Notes Doc.
Everyone on the call sees and hears that notes are on.
In a call
- Mute or unmute from any app: a shortcut that works while you’re on a conference, whichever app is in front. Outside a call, the keys stay free for other apps.
- Do Not Disturb for calls stops calls ringing this Mac for 1 hour, Until tomorrow, or Until I turn it off. Messages still notify you, and you can still start and join calls.
Meetings in other apps
For a Zoom, Teams, FaceTime, or WeChat call, use Meeting Recording: Settings → Recordings → New recording records your microphone, the call’s audio, or both, with a live transcript. The arrow beside New recording has Meeting reminder, which asks on the Dynamic Island whether to record when one of those calls starts.Related
