For FaceTime, you need another person with an iPhone or iPad to start the FaceTime call. They may then send you a link to join, which you can do in your browser (using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge). Here's how the Apple user you use for FaceTime creates the link:
Make sure you have iOS 15 or later (required, if not, update the firmware) or macOS Monterey.
Open the FaceTime app (this is different from the phone app)
Click Create link
You can click Add Name to name the call or meeting.
You can then send the link to someone with an Android or Windows device, or send it through another app like Mail
You can also copy the link and send it to another location
Step 2 Join the FaceTime call from your Android or Windows device
After someone you know creates a link using your Apple device, they can share it with you via text message, email, or other means.
Make sure you have the latest version of Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge installed on your device
