May I use a gmail address for FaceTime?

May I use a gmail address for FaceTime? I've been trying to use my work email (which is through google) for FaceTime. I get the message "This account is blocked from registering." I simply don't want to use my home apple ID at work.

Our technology director told me it was an Apple issue 😉

You need to sign in with an Apple ID. You can also, once logged in, add additional email addresses and a phone number.

Use FaceTime with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If you don't want to use your home Apple ID, you could create a new Apple ID with the gmail address.
