I like to video chat with my friends, but they have iPods and do not have Skype. I also am not a fan of plugging my iPhone into my computer to charge while I FaceTime. Is there a way I can FaceTime directly from my Ubuntu system, preferably not involving Wine or PlayOnLinux or whatever, or is there an application that is compatible with FaceTime that I can install on my computer?

I'm sorry to let you know that AFAIK, Facetime is only available on OSX and iOS. I am yet to find a third-party client that can connect to that network.

  • iOS needs Version 8+, able to use Ubuntu 16.04 with qTox, communicating with iPad using Antidote for Tox. Internet bandwith sensitive but works. qTox on Win 7 also works. – xtrchessreal Dec 16 '16 at 22:15
