I was told when using FaceTime it won't let you zoom? Is this true?

Its an add on, has nothing to do with zooming, however, you can't zoom with the front camera

Cant be. Im not an apple user but i could do anything i did before, zoom, brighness, movies, timer. Its just glass over the lens. You just have to flip the lens over and adjust before you start ypur forward facing cam

I have never tried zooming with FaceTime with or without this lens, but I'm sure if you can zoom without the lens, you can zoom with it. It has no way to stop you from being able to.

With skype or another voip app yes, you won't be able to out of the box though. Also, you'll be able to make a FaceTime audio call to anyone else with an iPhone iPod or iPad and an internet connection.

The camera works in the front like normal. The touchscreen *DOES NOT* turn off when placed to your ear. I've had to turn off Facetime because I kept hitting the button with my face and accidentally facetiming whoever I was on the phone with.

Just tried it on my iPad with Facetime (video and voice-only) and it worked great.I assume it will work with other applications such as Skype as well.

Thanks for checking with us ! The problem is originally caused via the updated app which was released on March 11 ! We recommend you to temporarily use Android device, iPhone 5/5c/4/4s...with Anyscene app and Camera Live program on PC and Mac for remote viewing . As per updated information, the original cause is that the released app doesn't support 64bit device, unfortunately including iPhone 6. We have fixed the bug and have submitted the new app to Apple store for their audition which in usual takes 7 working days.The new app will be released in next week (March 15- March 22) Very sorry for any inconvenience caused via the app update!

I found that, when I touch the camera to zoom, it wobbles and moves. So for I found it easier to use the remote that came for my camera for zooming. Panning I place my thumb on the bottom of the camera and pan the camera. There are a couple videos on YouTube that show how to do that. Hope this helps.

I have tried and can't get it to zoom in and out during video recording. Hope this helps.

Well I'm not sure about FaceTime but they have a mic and it worked with Skype pretty well for me so I'm guessing it should work

NO that is false, My wife has had this on her iPhone 5s for a few months now and has no problem using face time with my sister in law.

Are you asking or telling? I noticed I had to long press before I could zoom on mine. Hope this helps

This little speaker as well as others like it, are simply external speakers for the device you connect them to. FaceTime is an application software that operates on you device (ipad) and relies it's hardware (speakers..etc). If your ipad has an external speaker port, as most smart devices do, you can use this speaker. I have considerable hearing loss and this speaker provides good clear sound for me. This is NOT a wireless speaker, it is battery operated or will power up through a USB connection. If you use a laptop the USB cable provided will work with it.

No this device does not have a front facing camera and does not work with facetime. Thank you

I have only tried once, and that was at the Netflix site. I could not zoom in and out at all. I wound up becoming frustrated with trying. I ended up using my laptop to move the movie to my queue and then using the ipico to watch the movie. I bought the device for my wife as she is always trying to show family pictures and videos to groups of her friends and the ipico does this nicely.I wouldn't recommend the thing for web browsing as it's a hassle plus the ipico app seems to add time to the browsing experience with what seems to be sub-3G speeds.

NO, as long as you have access to a WiFi available, you can facetime. that is the difference between the IPod and IPad/IPhone. Ipod is WIFI ONLY, IPad is by choice, either wifi or Cellular, IPhone is BOTH

I sent mine back to the company, I could not get it to work correctly. I just use the mouse and the cntr button and scroll up with the mouse, it zooms the page.

Thanks, John. Now if only I had pockets big enough both to purchase the S5 IS *and* to hold its bulk. :-/ So I guess I'm still wondering: Just what the heck IS the reason none of the pocket-size digi-cams seem to allow zooming in video mode? Too expensive? Too noisy? Simply not possible due to some technical constraint? If anyone has a good answer, I'd still like to know. Thanks for the good discussion so far...

Hello Chris, Try this - Get into Skype Settings > Video and then click on the Webcam settings. You should see an Advanced menu, select Disable Face Zoom. That should solve this.
