Handoff Lets You Swap FaceTime Calls Between Devices in iOS 16, iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura
In iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura, the FaceTime app finally supports Handoff, which means FaceTime calls can be swapped from one device to another.

If you get a FaceTime call on your iPhone while you're out of the house, you can answer it on the go and then swap over to the larger screen of a Mac when you return home. Or you can answer a call on your Mac and transfer over to an iPhone or iPad for a more portable FaceTime experience.
When a FaceTime call is handed off, connected Bluetooth headphones will transition to the new device too, so your call is not interrupted by the transfer.
Apple in FaceTime is also adding support for Live Captions, which let you see automatically transcribed dialogue during FaceTime calls. Live captions are available in English and are limited to the iPhone 11 and later, iPad with A12 Bionic and later, and Macs with Apple silicon.
Along with these new features, Apple is adding a "Collaboration" option that can be activated during a FaceTime call. Collaboration can be started during an active FaceTime call and it can be used with apps that include Files, Keynote, Numbers, Pages, Notes, Reminders, and Safari. Third-party apps will also be able to support Collaboration.
