Looks good, I want to give it a try next week.

Appear.in (now called https://whereby.com/) used to have the same functionality and I would just share my link everywhere so that team members could call me whenever they wanted.

Although, Facetime is kind of the exact same thing isn’t it?

This may come as a surprise to you, but there are plenty of us who don't have Apple devices to use FaceTime with.

OK, I do have a Mac Mini for development purposes, but I don't want to have to drag it out of storage just to make a call.

Apple users can send a facetime link that is usable on non-apple devices.
Which I suppose is a failure of marketing by Apple? If casual non-Apple readers of HN don’t know the links work for non-Apple devices, no one does :)

(I’m an Apple reader of HN and I didn’t know this either!)
