Does this tv support Skype? Has someone tested it? Is it possible to add an external Skype camera?

Yes an external webcam is required. I have not tried it yet, but when attempted to start Skype it asked for webcam + mic

Not about Skype, but you can connect a webcam and connect to a computer at the very worst. http://www.ehow.com/how_8247722_connect-cam-tv.html

I used mine on Skype and had to get Skype to recognize the camera. I think I did so either through the view or tools dropdowns. The Skype home page has instructions on how to do this. Good luck.

I have been able to use mine like a webcam by plugging it in then holding the button. Device manager sees it as a GVD and it works with skype.

sorry it took me so long to get back to you...I think it has video/camera, so I dont see why not. you'd have to download the "Skype" app. but you should be able to use it..

Yes, any USB camara will do, but not sure if Skype is working on this TV. Try Aptoide and download it first and see if it recognize it first. But, I don't have one on my TV so not sure. Research on YouTube and other sites before spending any money. Or ask your retailer if you can get your money back if item return open.

it does work with Skype and in HD; I agree, that it doesn't work "automatically" but you need to edit the XML file and add a Video Tag with Height and Width to get it to work; but it does work, and it is awesome.

Yes! It should work just get the updates from the web using a windows computer. Plug in the webcam into the computer first get updates than test it out on the computer. When finished switch it over to the TV and it should work fine. It works good and the clip is super light weight and flexible. It works fine for Skype. It's cheaper than some of the other webcams out there. Enjoy!

My LG TV is a 55lw5600 and it is compatible with that camera BUT (and that is a big BUT) there is no option of possibility to get Skype to ring when you receive a call. All you get is a quick window poping up on your screen with a written message saying : you have an incoming call, accept or ignore. What's the point of getting skype on your TV if there is no ring sound to alert you when you !! I would not recommend this product unless LG fixed it on the software on the TV or add a ring on the camera !!!

I tried a lot but it does not accept Cam or cam of phone as camera for skype.. What I did not try was wireless ? (Wifi) camera. Multi usb hub works well also wireless keyboard mouse work nicely.

It has a skype application on the phone (that is downloaded from the android application store). However, it does require an external camera for video, and one cannot use the handset (only the speakerphone)

Yep. Tested Skype. Video works fine in both directions on this tablet. However, on previous tablet owned, had to download a previous version of Skype which solved the issue. Hope this helps.
