Pause a FaceTime video call on Mac
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.
On your Mac, do any of the following during a video call:
Pause a video call: In the FaceTime app
, click the yellow minimise button 
at the top of the FaceTime window or switch to another app.If you’re in full-screen view, first exit out of the view.
Note: If you’re on a Group FaceTime call, the minimise button only minimises the screen; it doesn’t pause the call.
Resume a paused video call: Click the FaceTime icon in the Dock.
