Share This:

Are you having trouble connecting to a Facebook video call on your Mac? If so, you are not alone. Many Mac users have encountered this issue, and it can be extremely frustrating.

Fortunately, there are a few steps you can take to try and fix the problem. First and foremost, make sure that your camera and microphone are turned on and that any open programs like video-calling that may already be using your camera or microphone are closed. Additionally, make sure that your computer has selected any external camera, microphone or speakers that you’re using. Finally, check to see if your microphone is on mute.

If these steps do not solve the problem, then the issue may be caused by network issues. To troubleshoot network issues, try restarting your router or modem by unplugging them for 30 seconds before plugging them back in. You shoud also check your internet connection speed to make sure it meets the minimum requirements for video calling (0.6 Mbps download speed/1 Mbps upload speed).

If these suggestions do not work either, then you may need to contact Facebook customer service for further assistance in resolving the issue. However, if you follow the steps outlined above first then chances are that you will be able to get your video calls up and running in no time!
