Make sure your Bluetooth is turned on and connect your headphone or ipod to your iPhone.

Now it is left for the other person to accept the request and tap on open button as shown below.
Once the other person tap on the open button, he or she can listen to the song.
Kindly note that the person must have an apple music account with an active subscription.
If there’s no active subscription, the person will be liable to listen to the song only once, others songs you played will not available to the person until he or she subscribe to Apple music.
This is also the same if you’re watching a movie on Netflix, YouTube or any other videos on your iPhone.

But if you don’t fancy sharing your video or music with the other person on FaceTime call, then you have to use the first method as it is the best solution for the question of how to make videos louder while on facetime iphone.
