Apple - How to hide FaceTime audio macOS High Sierra Version 10.13
This seems like a bug.
Also other people had this kind of question too: Apple discussion
I have found three temporary workarounds (the last one is the best). All of them force quit the process FaceTimeNotificationCenterService
:
Open Activity Monitor and search for
FaceTime
. Then selectFaceTimeNotificationCenterService
, press the red circled button and chooseForce Quit
.Open Terminal and type
killall -kill FaceTimeNotificationCenterService
then press return (⮐)With this command you essentially
Force Quit
the process. (For more information typeman killall
;-kill
sends the signalkill
instead of the default signalterm
to the process)For a more permanent solution you start Automator make a new
Application
. Here you go toUtilities
and dragRun Shell Script
to your workflow. Writekillall -kill FaceTimeNotificationCenterService
in the text field and you can save the document.As a shortcut you can place this
Application
in your dock so it needs only single click to activate.
Here, I created a small app that you can run after you have your facetime call going that will hide the window. http://onetoshare.com/AH2Bjq
