Disable FaceTime on Mac
The most radical option is to disable FaceTime completely when you log out of your Mac account. To do this, go to FaceTime in the menu bar, click on Preferences and then click on Settings and Logout.

In the FaceTime app on your Mac, log in and activate it. In the upper window field, enter the email address or phone number of the person you want to call.
