Follow this tutorial to create a FaceTime Call link on Mac to Start call with Android and Windows OS. One to One or Group Call.

The macOS Monetary is the latest operating system for Macintosh computers, which will release this year. Along with many other features, the main highlight of macOS Monterey is that it will allow users to create facetime links, just like the iPad and iPhone. 

Facetime also went through a lot of exciting new updates recently. With the new features in Facetime, it looks like some of our official online meetings and business video conferences might shift to Facetime. Now, an android or windows user can finally join a facetime meeting through a web browser. The new update also allows users to create links that can be sent to people who want to be a part of the call. Just by clicking on that link once, people will be redirected to the call. These links can be sent through built-in apps like mails and messages or through any other third-party app like WhatsApp, Facebook messenger etc.  

However, a facetime meeting cannot be started by someone using windows, android, or Linux devices. They can only join a meeting hosted by an iPhone, iPad, or macOS Monterey user. Therefore, using Facetime on or windows and android devices won’t be as fulfilling an experience as it would be on an Apple device. 

Creating a facetime call link in macOS Monterey is almost as easy as on any other Apple device like the iPhone or the iPad. It is an excellent way of inviting multiple people on the same facetime call. The link of a facetime call remains active until it is deleted. Here is how you can create a facetime call link:

To conclude,

we can say that the cross-platform Facetime call is an excellent initiative by Apple. But maybe it is “too little too late” as many other applications like Zoom and Google Meet have already captured the market. They have become the go-to option for conducting online meetings and classes for most organizations. However, if the company finds ways to make the Facetime calling option available to Windows and Android devices, Facetime may become a valuable tool for enterprises. They will be able to use it not just for personal video calls but for conducting online meetings and classes.
