One of the biggest improvements are group FaceTime calls.
Apple claims you can have up to 32 people on a call, and you probably can, but we’ve never had more than 5 or 6 participants in ours. It has usually worked smoothly for all of us, and it’s easy to set up and use.Another cool feature is SharePlay, which lets any participant share content such as a movie, TV show, song, or device, with everyone seeing and hearing the content at approximately the same time.
Once everyone had the appropriate apps installed, we watched TV shows and movies as we video-chatted among ourselves. Now that we’ve got it working, I foresee our family watching Ted Lasso and other shows together, even though we’re thousands of miles apart. SharePlay has another nice feature: It lets you easily share your device screen with others on a FaceTime call. I don’t think my family realizes it, but this is the fastest, easiest way I can offer them remote tech support. I expect to use this feature a lot once they figure it out.
Finally, while using FaceTime, check out the two new items in the Control Center on your late-model Mac running Monterey: Video Effects and Mic Mode. The former lets you enable Portrait Mode; the latter lets you choose Standard, Voice Isolation, or Wide Spectrum modes for your microphone. Note that these items only appear in Control Center if the FaceTime app is open and active , making them easy to miss.
Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus has written more than 90 books, including macOS Monterey for Dummies and iPhone For Dummies.
