facetimed
Had video chat
Facetimed is the past tense of FaceTime, Apple's video calling service used as a verb meaning to video call someone: I facetimed my mom last night, We facetimed for an hour.
Like googled or texted, the brand name has become a generic verb for video calling, sometimes applied even when using other platforms.
