Honestly, I use FaceTime internationally and it's worked so far.

I used to use Skype regularly, but now there's no need for it.

This is very cool. Facetime competition?

FaceTime is incredible.

Everything else I’ve used - Zoom, Meet, Slack etc, has insane lag/delay even when I’m having a one-on-one with someone in the same city.

Then I made a FaceTime call to the opposite side of the world and it was like we were sitting next to each other. No delay. No weird interruptions. No “sorry, you go”. And I was on shitty pub wifi.

I don’t know what the deal is. Do all these other services route through slow-ass servers in the US? Bad client-side processing? FaceTime proves the possibility of near-real-time communication across the globe, why is no one else even close?

It's not a complete substitute by any means, but FaceTime and video chat in general have done wonders to bridge those geographical gaps.

More like FaceTime, just one to one.

Google Hangout, or face time. : )

Facetimepartner.com --- it's here. They reached out to me on Twitter. I tried to use it, but I couldn't find someone to chat with.

Ah, I got the impression you were saying "why FaceTime if there is Skype".
