FaceTime calls not ringing on Mac even though it works on iPhone
FaceTime is signed in on your Mac but notifications are turned off or set to silent. We'll turn on FaceTime notifications and check your notification settings. This takes just a minute.
When FaceTime calls don't ring on your Mac, it means notifications are either disabled for FaceTime, set to silent, or your Mac is in Do Not Disturb mode. We'll turn on FaceTime notifications, check that alerts are enabled, and make sure Do Not Disturb isn't blocking them.
