If you’re an Android user, you might feel left out when it comes to FaceTime, the popular video calling service from Apple. But with the recent release of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, Apple users can now send FaceTime invite links to non-Apple users as well. This means, if you have an Android device and someone with an iPhone, iPad, or Mac invites you to a FaceTime call, you can join the call on your Android device too. Here’s how:
How to Join a FaceTime Call on Android
- Before you can join a FaceTime call, an Apple user must send you an invite link. They can do this by opening the FaceTime app on their device and selecting “Create Link” at the top of the app.
- Next, they need to select how they want to share the link and send it to you via your preferred method.
- Once you receive the link, open it in your Google Chrome browser on your Android device.
- Enter your name and click “continue.”
- Tap the green “Join” button in the floating popup that appears on your screen.
- The Apple user will need to accept your request to join the call.
- Once you’re in the call, you’ll see the buttons to mute, show/hide the camera, flip the screen, leave the call, do the full screen, and more.
