The projector does not support audio over HDMI, right? You have to run a
separate audio cable, yes? And the projector is your only monitor at the
time, I am guessing.

This means that Facetime has no way to establish the audio portion of the
call and in particular, doesn't have a microphone available. So, it
tells you about the call so you can answer it on some other device,
because you can't answer it on the projector.

Yeah, that sort of makes sense.

Is she mirroring her laptop display to the projector? Have you tried
setting it as a second display instead?
