    Hi shapo,

     

     

    To FaceTime a contact on your iMac or MacBook Pro, you'll need to FaceTime an Apple ID that is separate from your own.

     

    iOS: Using FaceTime

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319

     

    When calling someone using an iPad 2 or later, iPad mini, iPod touch (4th generation) or later, or FaceTime for Mac: Use the email address designated for FaceTime of the person you are calling.

     

    On iPad, iPod touch, and FaceTime for Mac, you need to add a person as a contact using the FaceTime or Contacts app before you can call them.

     

    To summarize, a separate Apple ID will need to be used on each device.

     

    Cheers!
