Pause a video call
You can pause a FaceTime video call to temporarily stop transmitting video. Both participants can still hear each other talk unless you mute the call.
Pause a video call: Click the yellow minimize button
at the top of the FaceTime window.
If you’re in full-screen view, first exit out of the view.
Resume a paused video call: Click the FaceTime icon in the Dock.
