You either have to lay one over the other, or reduce the size of both so they can sit side by side.
MACOS MONTEREY 12.1 TV
Watching a Ted Lasso episode with my friend Caitlin, I noticed everything look crystal clear, but I wished the video from the FaceTime call and the Apple TV app windows were aware of each other.
I tested it earlier this year, before Apple removed it from the betas. The other big change coming to FaceTime will be SharePlay, which lets you watch or listen to video and audio streams that are simultaneous for both callers. SharePlay, seen here, is not active in macOS 12 right now. Everything looked and sounded great for me on our call, though they said my voice sounded "soft." So I turned on the Voice Isolation setting in Control Center (found under Mic Mode), and that made everything crystal clear. Since this is a beta, and I'm not ruling anything out, I decided to call up Jackie, a friend with a more stable connection. One colleague's video feed got very choppy, though he blamed it on his bad internet. While I eventually got things to work right with FaceTime calls between a MacBook Air M1 and both Windows and Android, there were some hiccups along the way. Except it's not getting an app, just a web view.

There are two pieces of big news around FaceTime video calls in macOS 12 Monterey and Apple's other platforms, starting with the fact that it's coming to Android and Windows. macOS 12 review: FaceTime upgrades galore For example, texting my friend Caitlin (who is also testing these betas), I saw her Focus in Messages and had to click "Notify Anyways" to try and get her attention. Worried about missing a message? Focuses show others the status you have up, and in FaceTime they'll even let people have the option to break through your Focus filters if it's important. Each lets you pick a list of people and apps that you will let disturb your peace. There's also a new set of do not disturb modes that you yourself can customize, called Focuses. There's also an Activity tracking section for shared notes, much like Google Docs. Notes also now lets you organize your notes by using hashtag-tagged terms, so every note I have with #reviews in it is easily collected for future searching. I've used it for trying to make sense about the new and differentiated recommendations about face masks and social distancing from the WHO and CDC. My favorite is Quick Notes, which allows you to write notes while using other applications on the iPad, and can easily add links and quoted text from Safari to. Notes is also getting super-charged with two new features seen in iOS and iPadOS. Just look for the Shared With You section, as it's an easy way to find that thing someone sent that you can't find, or to take a trip down memory lane in photos. To see your cursor become a text select tool when you move it over text in an image is a sight to see.Īlso, images and links that you've been sent by others will now have their own sections in Photos, Safari, Apple News and other applications. For example, I could highlight text on a shirt I own that I took a photo of, or the nutrition label from a bottle.
This is Apple's AI magic at work, and it just works. In Photos and Preview, among other apps, you can now select text from images, just as if you were using a document or PDF. My favorite, without a doubt, is Live Text. MacOS 12 review: New features found on iOS 15 and iPadOS 15Īpple's rolling out a lot of new features across multiple operating system updates due out this fall, so macOS 12 Monterey gets to be just like iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 in a few ways.

That said, bugs are inevitable, so if you're worried about a new software update slowing down your workflow, it doesn't hurt to wait until you've heard that the apps you love run on macOS 12 before you download.
