FaceTime is Apple's video calling app installed in its Macs, iPhones, and iPads.
FaceTime is like Google Hangouts or Zoom, but it only works between Apple devices, so you can't FaceTime your friend with an Android or PC. For this reason, it's good to have access to other platforms.
But it doesn't matter which Apple device you use to hop on a FaceTime call. Users of iPhone, iPad, and Mac can all join the same chats because the app is basically the same across all platforms.
Starting a group call on FaceTime takes only a few seconds, or minutes, depending on how many people you are adding to the call; groups can be as large as 32 devices. You can also join an existing group FaceTime call.
