Step by step

1. 

   Tap New Call

   New Call is the green button at the bottom of FaceTime.

   Done

2. 

   Tap the link button

   The link button is the green round button at the left, above the keyboard.

   Done

3. 

   Send the link

   The sheet is titled FaceTime Link. Tap Add Name to name the call, then pick Messages, Mail, AirDrop or Notes, or tap Copy to paste it anywhere. Ours also offered Add to New Quick Note and Add to Reading List.

   Done

4. 

   Find it in FaceTime

   The link shows as a tile, FaceTime Link, with the day and time you made it. Tap it to start the call.

   Done

5. 

   To delete it, select it and tap the bin

   Tap Edit, select the tile, then tap the bin at the bottom right.

   Done

6. 

   Read the first question carefully

   Ours first asked: Delete from FaceTime call history? It warned that all recent calls, voicemails and video messages will be deleted and that this cannot be undone, with a Delete All button. Our list held only the test link, so we tapped Delete All. If yours holds calls you want to keep, remember that Delete All removes those too.

   Done

7. 

   Tap Delete Link

   The second question said the link will no longer work for anyone who received it.

   Done

If you do not see this option

• No link button on the New FaceTime screen? On ours it was the green round button at the left above the keyboard, with the To field still empty. Apple's steps tap it straight after New Call, before anything else. Source: Create a link to a FaceTime call on iPhone
• No FaceTime app or New Call button? FaceTime has to be turned on and signed in to your Apple Account. If it is, see FaceTime not working on an iPhone: 8 fixes to try.

If this does not work

• Someone on Android or Windows cannot join? Apple says they need a browser that supports WebRTC, such as the latest Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, and no login is needed. Source: Create a link to a FaceTime call on iPhone
• They join but cannot send video? Apple says sending video from a browser needs H.264 video encoding support. They can still join the call. Source: Create a link to a FaceTime call on iPhone

About this guide

A FaceTime link lets you invite people without calling them, for example in a group chat or a calendar invite.

The screenshots are from our iPhone 17e with iOS 27.0.1, in Dark mode. We made a link and deleted it again.

Good to know

Apple says you can also put a FaceTime link in a Calendar event as the meeting location.

In short: FaceTime, New Call, link button, Copy or Messages.
