Make a Group FaceTime call on iPad
In the FaceTime app , you can have up to 32 participants in a Group FaceTime call (not available in all countries or regions).
Start a Group FaceTime call
In FaceTime, tap New FaceTime near the top of the screen.
Type the names or numbers of the people you want to call in the entry field at the top.
You can also tap
to open Contacts and add people from there. Or tap suggested contacts in your call history.
Tap
to make a video call or tap

![A Group FaceTime call with four participants, including the originator. Each participant appears in a separate tile.](https://help.apple.com/assets/62224256028DCF13A670452F/6222425B028DCF13A6704539/en_US/d97cd2ee17a7818981f6d965a1105daa.png)
Each participant appears in a tile on the screen. When a participant speaks (verbally or by using sign language) or you tap the tile, that tile becomes more prominent. Tiles that can’t fit on the screen appear in a row at the bottom. To find a participant you don’t see, swipe through the row. (The participant’s initials may appear in the tile if an image isn’t available.)
To prevent the tile of the person speaking from becoming larger during a Group FaceTime call, go to Settings > FaceTime, then turn off Speaking below Automatic Prominence.
Note: Sign language detection requires a supported model for the presenter. In addition, both the presenter and participants need iOS 14, iPadOS 14, macOS 11, or later.
Start a Group FaceTime call from a group Messages conversation
In a group Messages conversation, you can start a Group FaceTime call with all the people you’re chatting with in Messages.

Add another person to a call
Any participant can add another person at any time during a FaceTime call.
During a FaceTime call, tap the screen to show the FaceTime controls (if they aren’t visible), tap the top of the controls, then tap Add People.
