How to use FaceTime on a Windows computer?
Prerequisites:

An Apple device (iPhone, iPad, or Mac) running the latest OS (iOS 15 or later, iPadOS 15, or macOS Monterey) initiating the call.

A Windows computer with a web browser like Chrome or Edge.

Steps:

Apple User Creates a Link:

• The Apple user opens FaceTime and taps "Create Link."
• They can optionally add a name for the call and tap "OK."
• They can then share the link via messaging apps (e.g., WhatsApp) or email.

Windows User Joins the Call:

• You (on Windows) click the received FaceTime link.
• Enter your name and click "Continue."
• Allow camera and microphone access when prompted.
• Click "Join."
• The Apple user will receive a notification to allow you to join. Once accepted, you'll be in the call.

Additional Notes:

• You can only see and hear other participants, not initiate the call or end it entirely.
• FaceTime uses end-to-end encryption for secure calls.
• Keep your Windows and browser updated for optimal security.
• Be cautious of FaceTime link scams in emails; don't click suspicious links.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly join FaceTime calls on your Windows computer, even though you can't initiate them directly. Remember, it requires an Apple device to start the call.
