Is it possible to make a facetime call from an iPod Touch to a computer?

My iPod Touch 4G is now capable of video chat. My computer (and my long-distance girlfriend's computer) are capable of video chat. As far as I can tell, those devices are unable to communicate with each other. I use Skype to video chat computer to computer, and I thought my new iPod Touch 4G would be able to call her computer on the go (so long as I'm in a decent wifi network.) Skype doesn't seem to be able to access that camera, though, and does voice only when I call. Facetime can access that camera, but as far as I can tell is incapable of calling anyone using a device other than another iPod Touch or iPhone.
Is there any way for Facetime (or any other app I can download to my iPod Touch) to video chat with a regular computer? I don't understand why Apple would overlook this, if it's the case (and not just my inability to figure it out.) It seems basic that if I can video chat with another iPhone or iPod, I should be able to do the same with a properly equipped computer.

Yes, get the "Yahoo! Messenger" app from appstore, my ipodtouch 4g works fine both in desktop and on laptops, your ipodtouch should work fine too... and if you have the yahoo messenger apps already in your ipodtouch make sure u have the latest update/version.

YM is not FaceTime and cannot connect to FaceTime. I am happy YM works for you, but it does not respond to OP swagmonkey's request.

    why cant i make a FaceTime call from iMessage on the iPad

    Because you make a FaceTime call from FaceTime on the iPad.
    On a Mac, you can start and iChat conversation from the Messages app and maybe that is what you are talking about. iChat can still be used in Mountain Lion in order to have a face to face conversation with other Mac users that are not running ML and therefore do not have FaceTime.

  • Facetime calling from iphone to itouch

    is there any service charge to use facetym from iphone to ipodtouch using my number not an email address??? tnx

    Welcome to the Discussions chochoi
    To answer your question regarding service charges to use FaceTime on the iPhone to make a FT call to an iPod touch 4gen. If you go into contacts then select the person you wish to FaceTime with, at the info page there is all the contacts details and at the button there is a button named FaceTime. If you click on that you should be charged as you are not using the cell provider.
    But if you are unsure of doing this go into the settings of the iPhone and turn off the cell connection and try the FaceTime call out over wifi only without worrying about any chargers from the Cell network.
    Hope this helps you.

    You'd need an app like Skype to video call with other phones.
    Data transfer is not supported via bluetooth and iphone to iphone is not supported at all.

  • HT1937 Why am I still not able to make a facetime call over my cellular network (sprint) after my iOS 6 update?

    I am not able to make a facetime call after my recent iOS update. It is still saying that I need to connect to wifi when I try to do so. Does not give use cellular option in my general settings.

    You will need to contact Sprint and find out what data plan you need.
    I'm with AT&T with unlimited data in order for me to use cellular data for facetime, I would need to sign up for a different plan.
