FaceTime is a video chat app developed by Apple Inc. It is available on Apple devices such as the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. In 2022, Apple released a web version of FaceTime that can be accessed on Windows computers.
To use FaceTime for Windows, you will need:
- A Windows computer with a web browser that supports WebRTC, such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
- An Apple device with FaceTime installed and running the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS.
- A FaceTime link from someone with an Apple device.
To join a FaceTime call on Windows:
- Open the FaceTime link in your web browser.
- Enter your name and click “Continue.”
- Click “Join.”
- Wait for the host to accept your request.
- Once you are in the call, you can use the controls at the bottom of the screen to mute your microphone, turn off your camera, or switch to full screen mode.
To leave a FaceTime call, click the “Leave” button at the bottom of the screen.
Here are some things to keep in mind when using FaceTime for Windows:
- You can only join FaceTime calls that have been created by someone with an Apple device.
- You cannot start a FaceTime call from Windows.
- FaceTime for Windows does not support all of the features of the native FaceTime app, such as screen sharing and SharePlay.
Overall, FaceTime for Windows is a great way to stay connected with friends and family who use Apple devices. It is easy to use and does not require any special software to be installed on your Windows computer.
