As a result, you can now hold video meetings in a stable FaceTime environment, regardless of the devices that your team members are using. To make a call, all you have to do is create a call link and distribute it to other people.
Let’s take a look at how FaceTime calls will function on Android phones and Windows laptops in greater detail.

A link has been created so that users on Android or Windows can join the FaceTime call.
