If you’re on a Windows PC or laptop you can indeed now engage in Face. Time calls with your Apple-using friends and family. The big caveat, however, is that you can’t call them. It only works if the call is initiated from an Apple device, be that an i. Phone or an i, and pad. Here’s how it all works.
That means you can finally use Face. Time on Windows—kinda. We’ll show you how it works. Unfortunately, Apple didn’t release a Face. Time app for Windows. Instead, anyone with an i, phone, i Pad, or Mac can create invite links that work with Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on Windows.
Does facetime work on wifi?
Like other web-based calls, Face. Time can work on WIFI. This app will default to WIFI as long as you have an active internet connection. However, this does not exempt its use of cellular data if you have it on. For this reason, you should turn off your cellular data to ensure you use your WIFI for Face, and time calls.
When you are connected to a Wi. Fi network, such as one at home, work or an airport, you can freely use Facetime without worrying about its’ impact on your monthly data usage allotment. Since most people are on a capped data plan, conserving that expensive data is a high priority.
You should be asking “Why does my FaceTime keep disconnecting from WiFi?”
If all of the above is in order and Face. Time keeps disconnecting Wi. Fi, then try the following: Make sure “use cellular data” is on for Face. Time, if you’re using it over mobile data., is face, and time on? (Settings > Face. Time) You may need to turn it off and then on again.
How can I join a FaceTime call on my computer?
A person using an i, phone, i Pad, or Mac can now start a Face. Time call and generate a web link. That person can send you this link, and you can join the Face. Time call in your browser, even if you’re using Windows .
If you try to make a call when you’re not connected to Wi-Fi, instead of telling you to turn on the mobile data switch for Face. Time, the app will direct you to your Wi-Fi settings instead, to connect to an available network. Apple has yet to release an official workaround or patch for this weird bug.

What is FaceTime on the iPhone?
