For most people, Xbox's deepest impression is still a game console, and its main function is still used for games. In fact, in addition to playing games, Xbox can also access the Internet through its built-in Edge browser, and with the upgrade of Apple's iOS 15, Xbox has one more feature, that is, using FaceTime for video chat.

The arrival of iOS 15 has enhanced FaceTime's calling capabilities, which allow for FaceTime video calls from devices other than Apple. Recently, some foreign netizens posted on Reddit, announcing his method of using Xbox Series S for FaceTime video chat, just add a camera, you can use the Xbox Series S built-in Edge browser to video chat with other users by opening the email method.

It is worth mentioning that Apple TV, which is Apple's "pro-son", does not have such a function. Since Apple has not launched a FaceTime App adapted to Apple TV, nor does it support the external third-party camera for Apple TV, if you want to video through the TV, you can only project the call of the mobile phone or tablet to the Apple TV for video chat through AirPlay, which is obviously inferior to xbox in the use experience. So for now, xbox may be a better option for Apple users who want to video through TV.
