Well, there is nothing to worry about, in this article we are going to discuss how to Stop FaceTime Opening Automatically on Mac.

Usually, this is because you left it open before rebooting the Mac, but other times it appears to be a bug or issue with the FaceTime plist file and in those situations removing that preference file can often remedy the issue.
