When the epidemic was severe before, many companies and schools used online meetings or classes to get through the severe epidemic time. However, online meetings or classes required sharing images, and everyone needed to download other apps for video conferencing and communication. The action of sharing the screen. The software required for each meeting or class is not uniform, which often makes people feel troublesome. Today I will teach Apple users how to use Apple’s built-in functions to make video calls for free and share the screen to watch videos or swipe on the phone together.
Hidden and useful functions of FaceTime that you must not know: screen sharing, multi-person meeting memo sharing
Apple users must know! Apple’s built-in iMessage not only allows you to send messages, photos, stickers, and audio for “free” but also share your location. It also has a very convenient function. That is Apple’s built-in free FaceTime calling and video functions, which can make video calls and share the screen at the same time.
If you want to use the free FaceTime calling and video functions, you must first go to the settings to confirm two things. First go to “Settings”, find FaceTime, click in and confirm that your “FaceTime” & “Simulcast Sharing” are both turned on.
After turning it on, go to Contacts and select the friend you want to call or video chat with using FaceTime. Click “FaceTime” to video or call your friend for free!
To share your screen using FaceTime video, click “Share” to choose “Share my screen” or “Listen and play games together.” Of course, if you want to discuss matters in a group, Apple’s built-in “Safari”, “Files”, “Memos”, and “Boundless Notes” can also be used.
Share my screen
The shared screen will appear on the video screen of both parties. Even if you are in a long-distance relationship, you can still have the feeling of swiping your phone next to the other party.
Listen and play games together
You can watch videos or listen to music with your friends while using FaceTime or video chat. Click “YouTube” on the sharing screen to share the video you want to watch with your chat partner. Chat partners should also remember to turn on “Join simulcast sharing”.
group discussion
If you have a report to make at work or school, you can also use FaceTime to discuss it. You can share “Safari”, “Files”, “Memos”, “Boundless Notes” and other content with the chat partner, and you can add all group members. Go into FaceTime to discuss the report content.
Click the “exclamation point” in the upper right corner, click “Add Contact”, enter the phone number or contact person you want to add in the box, and click “Add Contact” to discuss the report together.
Apple’s built-in apps such as Notes and Boundless Notes can share content through FaceTime sharing. The other party can also join in and modify the information together.
