Return recent or missed FaceTime calls on Mac
You can quickly return a recent FaceTime call (including calls you missed) from FaceTime, Notification Centre, a reminder or the Dock. See FaceTime audio and video call requirements.
Return a call from FaceTime
The left side of the FaceTime window shows you all the calls you’ve made or received (unless you deleted your call history). It’s organised by date, with the most recent calls on top.
The Active section appears when someone is currently on a Group FaceTime call that you can join. The Upcoming section appears when you create a FaceTime link or when a link is available in Calendar, Reminders, Mail or Messages. These links appear in the Upcoming section for a day or so; otherwise, they appear in the date-based section — for example, Last Week.

on your Mac.Move the pointer over the call window, then click

Tip: A Group FaceTime call remains active until all participants leave the call. To join or rejoin a Group FaceTime call that’s still in progress, double-click the call in your call history, then click Join.
