Chat with FaceTime

FaceTime is a great way to communicate because you get to both see and hear the person with whom you are chatting. You can use FaceTime to have a video chat with anyone who uses current versions of Macs, iPhones, iPod touches, or iPads. Using FaceTime is simple, fun, and free. (All you need is an Apple ID, which you can get at no cost if you do not have one already.)

Before you can start having FaceTime chats, you need to do some basic configuration. Once that is in place, conducting FaceTime chats is easy.
