FaceTime has always been the default video calling app for Apple device users. You can invite your friends on FaceTime to have a quick chat or enjoy a watch party using the SharePlay feature. But has it ever happened that you started a FaceTime call, but everyone showed up late? Or did anyone miss the notification?

When you ask someone to come on FaceTime, this can be an issue, but that person is occupied with something else. This post will show you the steps to schedule a FaceTime call on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac to avoid such scenarios.

Be On Time
Scheduling a FaceTime call in advance will make your contact remember to join the call and connect with you. And it is not necessary that your contact needs an Apple device to use FaceTime. Android or Windows users can also use FaceTime to connect with friends. All the features of FaceTime will work the same way on Android and Windows as well.
