My FaceTime videos use up 1GB per hour, which is at least double what other people seem to experience. What am I doing wrong?

Where are you getting the figures from ?

What devices are being used? Is it on mobile data or wifi etc?

I ask as many things will affect the data usage levels reported

I checked the remaining GB before and after, and it worked out at exactly 1GB per hour.

i am using an o2 pocket hotspot, and iPad mini.

I don't own any Apple devices personally but is there an option anywhere for video quality?
Maybe you are set to a high bitrate......

Ok follow the info here to see the actual gb used in facetime as other things may have used the hotspot data as well!
