t today's Back to the Mac event, Apple released a not-so-surprising
application called FaceTime for Mac. The beta version of this application,
which is completely free to download, does just what the name implies. It
allows you to FaceTime with someone on an iPhone 4, iPod touch, or another
Mac. Though the application hasn’t been out very long, we have compiled
together our favorite tips and tricks for using FaceTime on the Mac.

email account
FaceTime on the Mac works just as it does on the iPod touch. You use your
Apple ID email address an account with an email address. But, maybe you
use another email address other than your Apple ID email address to
correspond with friends and family. You can add additional email accounts to
the app.
