Is It possible to start a Group FaceTime call with URL schemes (FaceTime Links)?


I know I can start a FaceTime call from within my iOS app with URL Schemes like this:

facetime://[email protected]

I was wondering if it is also possible to start a FaceTime call with multiple users. Tried to separate it with a , or ; but it didn't work.

Solution

  • So I've been in contact with Apple and it turns out there is a URL scheme for group calls:

    facetime-group://?remoteMembers=+12345678901;[email protected];+23456789012&isVideoEnabled=1 (make the last term 0 if you want to start with your camera off… works the same as tapping Audio when starting a Group FaceTime call)
