Change FaceTime audio settings on iPad

Spatial Audio in the FaceTime app 👁 Image
makes it sound like your friends are in the room with you. Their voices are spread out and sound like they’re coming from the direction in which each person is positioned on the screen. You can adjust other audio settings during a FaceTime call.
