As you may know, FaceTime is an Apple app. However, if you have an Android phone or a Windows device there is also a possibility that you can be a part of these video calls. We tell you how in this note!
It is nothing new that the iPhone, iPad and Mac of Manzana they come with FaceTime Incorporated. However, so far, the manzanita company has not released this video calling application for Android phones. But, in case you have one of those devices or Windows and want to use FaceTime, we tell you that there is a way to do it. We explain below.
Technically, since there is no application of FaceTime for devices Android or Windowsthe only way to have a call through this app is precisely if a user of iPhone, iPad either Mac sends you a link to join the conversation. Now we tell you step by step.
When Manzana He launched iOS 15the company also released links FaceTime, which allow anyone to join one of those calls from their web browser. What you do or do need to join is: a device Android either windowsa strong Wi-Fi or mobile Internet connection and the latest version of Google Chrome either Microsoft Edge.
If you have all this, the next step is just to join the conversation. As? You have to get a link to a call from FaceTime (by mail or message) and, once you open it, you will have to enter your name and then click Continue. There you may need to allow the site to use your microphone and camera. Once you select Join, the host of the call has to let you in. When he accepts you, that’s it.
Once this is done, everything will work as a call FaceTime normal, only that you will be from the web with your device Android either windows. As in apps, pages or sites of this style, you will have the typical controls: mute or unmute your microphone; turn the camera on and off, change the view (using the front or rear camera); use full screen mode and view call participants in a grid layout. You will also be able to choose to leave the call whenever you want.
The only thing that is not available in FaceTime on the web is the share play and the possibility of screen sharing.
