We do it with Zoom and Teams all the time, but did you know you can create a link to a FaceTime call on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac? This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process, allowing you to invite friends to join or initiate FaceTime calls easily. Here’s how it works.
Creating a FaceTime Link on iOS
With FaceTime, you can generate a link that can be shared via Mail, Messages, and other apps. This link allows others to join or start a FaceTime call with you seamlessly. Follow these simple steps to create a FaceTime call link on your iPhone:
- Launch the FaceTime app on your iPhone.
- Within the app, locate and tap on “Create Link” near the top of the screen.
- Choose your preferred method of sharing the link, such as Mail or Messages.
- Send the link!
Creating a FaceTime Link on macOS
The process is similar when you are using a Mac.
- Launch the FaceTime app on your Mac.
- Click “Create Link” in the top left corner of the screen.
- Choose how you would like to share the link with others.
- Send the link!
More Tips for FaceTime Links
If you’re using the Apple Calendar app on Mac or iOS, you can insert a FaceTime link as the location for a scheduled remote video meeting. This automatically creates a link for you and adds it to the calendar event. When you share the event with others, they will be able to click the link to join your meeting.
It’s also worth remembering that FaceTime isn’t limited to Apple devices. Regardless of their device, you can invite anyone to join your FaceTime calls. One-on-one and Group FaceTime calls can both be accessed by non-Apple users using a web browser, and no login is required. All they need is the latest version of Chrome or Edge for video support, which includes H.264 video encoding.
Conclusion
By creating a FaceTime call link, you can effortlessly connect with others. You can use the device you love and take a break from workplace apps like Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet.
Creating a FaceTime call link is a simple process. Give it a try and experience the ease of connecting like never before.
