Yesterday I discovered this feature on AppleTV and I also tried it with an iPad and an iPhone and it works great. I was already looking for a magsafe holder iPhone which could be attached to the back of the TV, but I haven't tried it yet. I'll have to think of something for that.
Unfortunately on AppleI don't have the Face Time TV icon. The update is OK.
One supplement. It probably only works with Apple TV 4K, I have an older version and app I don't have FaceTime there either.
