NotchMind and FaceTime.

On a FaceTime call, the notch shows the call with a mute button and your camera’s status.

What it does with FaceTime

  • The call’s length in the notch.
  • Mute and unmute your microphone from the notch.
  • See whether your camera is on.
  • Check yourself first on the Camera page of Home.

Set it up

  1. Open Settings → Meetings and make sure Calls in the notch is on. It is on by default.
  2. Start or join a call in FaceTime. When it starts using your microphone, the call appears in the notch.
  3. Open the notch and choose Mute or Unmute, or Show call to bring the call back to the front.

Good to know

  • NotchMind never opens your microphone or camera. It asks macOS which app is using them.
  • Mute works at the microphone itself, for every app at once. If you hang up muted, the microphone comes back on afterwards.
  • Some microphones can’t be muted from software. Then the notch says so; use the mute button in the call instead.
