Hi Gigi, I'm pretty sure Facetime was in Lion as well. Maybe even before that; I don't know as my first Mac ran Lion. You don't need to be running the same operating system to Facetime though. From my Mac I only ever Facetime people on iOS.
It's really easy. You just open Facetime and select the contacts radio button. You can then interact with the contacts area and search or brows for a particular contact. Once you select a contact, you can choose via which particular contact info you will try to contact them (e.g. phone number or email address). Once you VO-SPACE on their contact info Facetime will attempt to video call that person. If they answer, Facetime will automatically create an audio-video call with that person. Esentially it works just as easily as on the iPHone. You can add contacts to favourites as well, and view recent calls. The only trick is in choosing the bit of contact info that the other person can be contacted on. This of course depends on their Facetime preferences. Their iPhone number or Apple ID are usually good bets, but you can always ask them how they can be contacted by Facetime. Before your friend begins she should check her Facetime preferences to ensure Facetime is turned on and check which email addresses and phone numbers she can be contacted on. Facetime will likely prompt her to do this the first time she opens it. If you need any more detailed information please let me know.
