FaceTime is a proprietary videotelephony product developed by Apple Inc. It is available on supported mobile devices that run on iOS and Mac computers. While Apple introduced "FaceTime", users can make and answer video and audio calls on all iOS devices from the same account. If you want to do FaceTime on iPad, you can look at this guidance. Let's check out how to get FaceTime on iPad.

Part 1: How to FaceTime on iPad

1.1 How to Use FaceTime APP to Make and Answer Calls on an iPad

With FaceTime, you can video or audio chat with your parents across the country or with your best friends down the street. Follow this easy guide to use FaceTime to make calls on your iPad.

1. Download and install FaceTime app on your iPad, then click on the FaceTime icon on your iPad's Home screen to launch the FaceTime app. FaceTime is a video calling program that allows you video chat with other FaceTime users on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Mac OS X.
2. Tap "Contacts" at the bottom of the screen and tap the name of the contact you want to call. You will only be able to call other FaceTime users. You must have the recipient in your "Contacts" in order to FaceTime with them. Later, I will introduce how to transfer contacts to iPad.

4. Your contact's device will notify them that they are receiving a FaceTime call. Once they answer, the FaceTime call will begin.
5. When the call connects, if you choose the video calling, your contact's video is shown full screen while your video is displayed in a small box at the corner of the screen. If you make an audio calling, the screen will be just like the phone calling. During the call, you can tap the microphone button to mute the call or the camera button to switch to the iPad's rear camera. Tap the End button to end the call. You can also make an Audio-only call by switching the tab at the top from Video to Audio.
6. When other FaceTime users are calling you, you can tap the "Accept" button to answer calls or tap "Decline" to refuse the call on iPad.
