FaceTime with Mac Mini

[PSpencer]

Hi

I'm new to this forum. I just purchased a Mac Mini, the latest 2014 version. I am trying to use it for FaceTime. The mac Mini comes with an internal speaker, but does not seem to have a microphone and camera.

I am hoping that people within the forum can share their experience in using FaceTime with a Mac Mini. What are the best microphone and camera for this purpose?

Thanks,

PS

The USB Logitechs should be fine:

I use the Logitech HD Webcam C310 model and it works fine for everything.

if you use the webcam internal mic the sound will give an echo on the other end, So use a Bluetooth mic thru FaceTime calls / Skype etc ...

I got a cheaper USB mic because I got the same on my Mac Pro using the Logitech built in mic.

Hi I am trying to figure out if I can use my iPhone XR as a webcam, for use with FaceTime, and video messaging on my Mac mini or do I have to resort to buy a webcam ???

Please help me to sort this out.I am running Catalina

I don’t believe that is possible, it is possible with some types of digital cameras but not an iphone as far as I am aware. You would need a webcam. I’d recommend Logitech ones.

I'm using Camo with my iPhone 6S. The headphones are plugged into my 2012 Mini and the iPhone is mounted above the monitor. Could use a cheap USB microphone instead, may not get around to it. Better picture even the best webcams. I recommend it.
