facetime is coming to android and we're
going to give you a first look at what
it looks like
this is huge news for android users and
it's one reason
why android users typically would switch
to an iphone is that they would want to
leave android to get
facetime in this case i think apple's
selling them
an awesome new product here yes sort of
sort of it's
you know not the full face time you
can't go into your android and download
the facetime app it just doesn't exist
what you can do is get a link and join
in a web browser so let's uh
show man do it let's do it open up
facetime on my iphone and you have this
new create
link button i'm going to tap on that and
i'm going to share it with john up phone
i'll be drown up phone today send it
there
here on our pixel we should get that
message
join my facetime alright so all i need
to do
is tap on the facetime link i'll tap on
it as well
there you go get a nice shot of our
overhead cam here there you go
john continue so
looking at this interface one of the
things that i noticed
is that the apple interface that's built
in here
looks better than the android interface
like the the rest of it yeah
the font looks better it's got this nice
opaque background which is actually very
impressive
because it's using a web browser but as
you can see
it's it's really high quality that's
great look at that look at that light in
the background there
get a behind scenes look at the studio
right now as well and the ceiling
as david said so you can see it's a beta
right now
you've got a full screen mode
you can mute the microphone turn that
back on video
use the back camera and then over here
you can choose the camera you want to
use
the microphone you want to use you can
also share the link from an android but
you just can't start it from an android
david's iphone has some additional
features which are called facetime
camera effects
let's just yeah right here tap on that
star down there and you've got a whole
bunch of options let's start with
filters
and you know if i want to do a comic
book like a comic book character you
sure do
sort of uh let's go over here how about
uh watercolor
this is no small feat and obviously
apple is kind of borrowing from snapchat
here with snapchat filters
who borrowed from photoshop and so it's
this big
imitation is the sincerest form of
flattery they say michael
oh that's funny michael it's also a good
way to get sued this could be a cool
thing
like you're doing a virtual play you
know with covet everyone's doing it on
zoom
what if you had face time and you might
look like a comic book play as opposed
to it adds an extra
element of you know you've always had us
here a flare for the theatrical all
right so let's go back to the original
here
another cool thing how about stickers
what if i want to
add a giraffe what if now you can drag
it
this is what i love about this it moves
around with you again apple's not the
first company to do this
but uh yeah you just drag it on yourself
right into my face there you go
and now it'll stay in your nose even as
you move that's uh
let's get rid of that okay mr giraffe
knows so i'm gonna close out a camera
effects here another icon you see it's
kind of grayed out right now it is
grayed out right now is the share screen
it doesn't work with android but it does
work
iphone to iphone yes and who knows maybe
they'll build this into android
eventually let's
tap join all right and i'll tap join and
it says maybe john
would like to join this call maybe
waiting for others did it work it did
work it worked
first time ever oh my gosh jeez okay
i'll mute my
phone that was uh we thought it wasn't
gonna work but it's never worked but it
hasn't worked before it works now i
think
a lot of people tried this out right
away and complained
and maybe apple fixed it pretty quickly
how about that the government actually
found someone we're looking for yeah
baby yeah
this is the first time that something
hasn't worked and then did work during a
video it's the opposite usually things
just go wrong yeah usually
things work every time except when we
record them so it really is a full first
look now i thought it was going to be
kind of lame at the end there we weren't
going to be able to show them in the
call but yeah we are
looking at here's looking at you is
looking at you kid
how about this now now my share screen
shows what we know all right do it let's
tap that
share my screen ah it's great out yeah
well good try
yeah i got nothing for you i i can share
the link
pretty cool well folks i can see you can
start the
face time and android immediately i
suppose the quality is pretty good too i
mean even on the android
obviously we can't really speak to the
quality of the audio at this point but
it seems pretty seamless i think
compared to zoom i mean you look great
how do i look
look look good so one thing i want to
point out too while this call is working
if you swipe down to open control center
on your iphone
you'll see this video effects and mic
mode i'm going to press and hold on
video effects
and you can turn portrait on or off here
portrait is what makes the blur
in the background appear kind of like
the zoom calls or apple
you know rip that off but i would
recommend turning on portrait
and then mic button standard voice
isolation and wide spectrum this is you
know if there's a bunch of background
noise maybe somebody's
vacuuming in the right way from voice
isolation yep
and if you're trying to share
music with somebody really not a great
idea you're at a concert you want them
to hear the bass
wide spectrum it'll not filter anything
out yeah
so just wanted to point those out but
that is a first look at facetime on
android i'm really happy that it worked
me too this is a pleasant surprise so
let us know what you think are you
excited to use facetime on your android
do you think that this interface looks
better than the rest of the android
interface
i'm really impressed by apple if there's
one thing apple knows how to do
they know how to build a website because
this is no small feat
building a website that works just like
a native app it's pretty amazing yep
