An upcoming episode of the popular ABC show Modern Family will take place entirely on a MacBook as the characters use FaceTime and other services to communicate, as noted by Recode:
The episode revolves around Claire Dunphy, a working mother of three played by Julie Bowen, who is stuck in an airport and desperate to reach her daughter, Haley, to reconcile after a fight. The story plays out on her Macbook, as she employs all the forms of modern communication at her disposal, from email to FaceTime to Facebook, in an attempt to locate her eldest child, played by Sarah Hyland.
Not only will the upcoming episode take place on a MacBook screen, the report adds that it “was shot entirely with Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 tablets.”
Recode has more with quotes from the show’s co-creator Steven Levitan on the inspiration behind the episode.

Hmm, that ‘add call’ button is very intriguing. Really wish FaceTime has group chat.
Ha good spot, has apple paid them for this?
I was hoping they’d do an Watch episode. They could have Phil really obsessing over getting one, and Jay lamenting the very idea of it, and making fun of Phil like usual, and then finally coming around to it and wanting the gold version at the end, then Phil finally sends Jay his heartbeat and Jay is furious. You’re welcome for the idea Levitan!
People actually use an iPad to shoot video?
This is gonna be interesting to see
