Nope. Apple and Amazon both hate Google and won't let their devices talk to Google devices. Microsoft owns Skype, so it only works with other Microsoft products. Call the FCC and tell Ajit Pai that the internet needs to be open and based on standards, not whatever the lobbyist with the biggest bribe tells him it should be.

You won't be able to connect to someone with an Amazon Show or any other non-Google Smart home display. If the iPhone user has Duo installed onto their iPhone then yes you can connect with them, but NOT through FaceTime. Currently, the Smart Display doesn't support Skype calls. Just Google Duo

Duo only, nothing else. No apples, no amazons, nothing unless the device has Duo on it which is mainly just Google Assistant smart displays and Android phones.
