Mac users can call others. Others cannot call Mac.
- tombert 2y agoYeah, and I don't have a Mac computer anymore, and neither do my parents or my grandmother. I coordinated with my parents, we're gonna try the free Teams thing.
- geocar 2y agoExactly wrong in every way. FaceTime requires the Mac or iPhone or iPad user create a link. It's a regular (persistent but revokable) link to a web page with javascript and shit, but anyone can click the link which initiates the call; Others can call Mac, it's Mac which can't call others.
- paulddraper 2y ago> FaceTime requires the Mac or iPhone or iPad user create a link. Yes, FaceTime requires that the Apple user initiate. > It's a regular (persistent but revokable) link You are correct that you can save the link somewhere for future use.
- geocar 2y ago> Yes, FaceTime requires that the Apple user initiate. My customer clicks the link whenever they want, and my phone rings like any other FaceTime call with the label I have given that link in my phone. That's what I think most people want and mean by "initiate", and so I think it misleading at-best to suggest the customer (non-apple user) is unable to initiate the call. > You are correct And this is the first correct thing you have said.
