FaceTime is a free video chat application developed by Apple Inc for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Mac computers and laptops exclusively.

It cannot be used for text chats. Additionally, just like the other messaging applications, this app does not support the recording of a video call. Since we live in a modern technology nowadays, business people now take their meetings through video calling and recording this video is necessary for documentation and some other purposes. With this, people will need a tool to record such video. A screen recorder can actually help to record FaceTime.
