1. Start a FaceTime call on your iPhone/iPad
To start a FaceTime, open the FaceTime app on your iPhone or iPad and tap "New FaceTime."

If you don't have it saved, you can type the person's phone number or email address directly into the search.
Once you've found the person you'd like to FaceTime with, tap the camera icon to begin a video chat, or the phone icon if you just want to use audio.

With the other person still on the call, go back to your home screen by swiping up from the bottom of the screen for an iPhone or iPad with FaceID, or by pressing the home button for the older versions of the iPhone or iPad. From the home screen, open up the app that you want to share. SharePlay works with Apple Fitness+, Apple Music, Apple TV+, NBA, Paramount+, SHOWTIME, TikTok, Twitch, and many others.
