Some users have reported freezing issues with FaceTime video chat on their iPad 2, requiring a restart of the device, according to an AppleInsider report.

Several threads on the Apple support forums describe a problem where the image displayed by the front camera on the iPad 2 crashes. A reboot is usually required to fix the issue.

"It happens quite frequently," said user leov36. "Restarting the ipad fixes the problem, BUT, it happens again with in the next two to three times i go to use it."
