facetimes
Calls with video
Facetimes is the third-person singular verb form of FaceTime, Apple's video calling application used as a generic verb for video chatting: She facetimes her mom every Sunday.
The usage has spread beyond Apple devices to describe any video call, much as "google" came to mean any web search.
