2. Receive the link
The next step is for the iPhone user to send a link via SMS or email that you as an Android user can click to join the conversation.
To get the link, the iPhone user should enter the FaceTime app, click “Create Link” and then send it to you.
Once you get the link, click on it to bring up a window in your phone’s browser. There you may need to approve access to the camera and microphone if you have not done so before. You also need to enter your name before clicking “Continue”.
After that, you can join the conversation by clicking on the green button that should have appeared on your screen.

3. Be included in the conversation
Now all that is needed is for the iPhone user to let you into the conversation.
As soon as you join, the iPhone user will get the request at the top of their screen in the FaceTime app.
There it can let you into the conversation by clicking on the green tick next to the red cross.
If all went well, you are now in a FaceTime call with your Android phone.
