Dunno, sounds like a focus issue. Try doing a VO-Shift-Space or physically
clicking the mouse or trackpad (with trackpad commander off) to see if you can
get focus into the sign-in dialog. You should have no problem signing into
FaceTime separately if you want to.

Bother.
What happens if you use VO-F1-F1 to look for system dialogs or other sign-in
prompt windows? Anything there?
This is an Air, so you should have a functioning microphone and camera. That's
the other reason that sign-in doesn't appear sometimes.

Do you want the better performance and the extra ports of the MacBook Pro? I
did, and I'm glad of it, but that's my choice, and your needs will be different
from mine. Think about whether you'll be using it for CPU-intensive work.

I don't like the TouchBar either. That's why I traded my 2019 MacBook Pro for
one of the new 14 inch MacBook Pros.
Not only does the new 14 and 16 inch MacBook Pros no longer have a TouchBar,
the keyboard is vastly improved, and also has inverted-T arrow keys.

The TouchBar is really irrelevant, and not a problem for VoiceOver users.
You can perform any VoiceOver command that uses F-keys, by holding down the VO
