Hello,

Would like to possibly use the built in Camera to do video "conferencing with
my son.
He has a a Windows PC.

I guess the built in MAC program for video work is only between Apple products.

True ?

If so, what would be the easiest (free, hopefully) program to set up to use for video
between us ?
Neither of us are very sharp with this "stuff".

Thanks,
B.
 
I assume the built in MAC program you are referring to is FaceTime? As far as I know Apple does not make a version for Windows.

Skype is a well known free program you can use. There are versions for Mac and Windows:

https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/

The link above is to the official Microsoft site.
You can download the Mac version there.

If your son has Windows 10 Skype is already present on his computer.
