Apple opened FaceTime on iOS 15, iPadS 15 and macOS 12 to be able to make video calls to people on other platforms, including Android. That means in short you can use FaceTime in Windows, something like that. We will show you how it works.
Unfortunately, Apple didn't release a FaceTime app for Windows. Instead, anyone with an iPhone, iPad or Mac can create invite links that work with Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on Windows. That means it is not feasible start a FaceTime call from Windows, but can to enter one.

First, you must make sure you have Google Chrome O Microsoft Edge installed on your Windows PC.
Next, your friend or family member with an iPhone or iPad should open the FaceTime app and then tap the “Create link” at the top of the screen.
Next, they can share the link with you however they want.
And Mac, as long as they run macOS 12 Monterey or a later version, can you find the button “Create link” at the top of the FaceTime app.
Next, they can share the FaceTime link with you using any messaging platform.
You will receive a link to facetime.apple.com what looks like this:
Open the link in the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge search engine on your Windows PC. Enter your name in the box and click “Continue”.
From there, click on “Join” on the floating toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
The person on the other end of the FaceTime call will need to accept your request before they can join on their iPhone, iPad or Mac.
Once i'm inside, you will see options in the toolbar for typical video conferencing alternatives, as Full Screen, Mute microphone and show / hide video.
That's pretty much it!! This is simply a basic version of a FaceTime call that runs in your browser. When it's over, just click the button “Get out” to hang.
The quality of FaceTime on the web is really good considering that it is not a native application. It would be great if you could start a FaceTime call from Windows, but this is a good solution for now.
