Are you not sure about how to invite your friends or family members (Android/Windows users) to a facetime call. here is the simple guide.

Video calls and teleseminars have helped us big time over the past 2 years, because of the quarantines and Lockdowns. FaceTime was exclusive to iPhones, iPads, and Mac until Apple released the iOS 15 feature that has brought a little crack in the Apple’s ecosystem. The rise of telecommunication has been considered by Apple and they want their Videotelephony product, FaceTime, to be used across operating systems like Android and Windows. We will know about how Android and Windows users can join a FaceTime video call in this article.

Android users can be invited to FaceTime calls using the link that iOS 15 users will find inside the FaceTime app. The link can be copied and shared via any messaging apps or email and the receiver (Android/Windows user) must use the browser to join the call. Which means there is no FaceTime app outside iOS yet. Although only iOS users can host or initiate a video call on FaceTime. With many established video teleconferencing services, like Zoom and Google Meet, available in the market, we have to wait and see how useful this iOS 15 feature can turn out to be.
