How to use Dual Capture in FaceTime on iOS 27

FaceTime in iOS 27 can use the front and rear cameras together, making it possible to show yourself and what is happening in front of you during the same video call.

Dual Capture is useful when you want the person on the other end of the call to see your reaction while also seeing your surroundings, an event, a view or something you are demonstrating.

Instead of repeatedly switching between cameras, the two camera views can be shown as part of the FaceTime experience at the same time on supported iPhones.

How to use Dual Capture in FaceTime on iOS 27

1. Open FaceTime and start or join a video call.
2. Tap the screen to reveal the FaceTime controls if they are hidden.
3. Open the camera options.
4. Select the Dual Capture option.
5. Position your iPhone so the rear camera is pointing at what you want to share.
6. Continue the call with both camera views active.
7. Return to the camera controls when you want to turn Dual Capture off.

For the clearest result, hold the iPhone steady and check both camera views before showing something important to the other people on the call.
