Be On Time
Scheduling a FaceTime call in advance will make your contact remember to join the call and connect with you. And it is not necessary that your contact needs an Apple device to use FaceTime. Android or Windows users can also use FaceTime to connect with friends. All the features of FaceTime will work the same way on Android and Windows as well.
