Do I need a skype app on TV. Unfortunately, I have sony tv which does not have Skype App. Would this still work without Skype app on TV?

It is all self contained. Just plug in the HDMI and ready to go. I don't recommend that you get this one though. The one I ordered worked one time and then just died. I found out that occurs regularly with them. Not a quality product. I got the Logitech 960-000921 TV Cam HD for Skype Calls on HDTVs and have been very happy with it.

Can't say for sure. I assume it's the version of Skype software that matters, rather than the brand of TV. My 2012 model Panasonic came with Skype preinstalled and it works very well.

It does not have SKYPE built into the TV. But if you have a camera that is made to work with HDTV's, you should be able to go to the Skype site and do it from there. It may take some time to figure out the method, but theoretically its possible.

I have not using video phone anymore. Now using iphone instead. Well I think skype is general purpose so I am not sure.But certainly if latest firmware is available, I would update the system. It may have better heat control, etc.

I used this camera for Skype on my LG 55LW5500 television. The only other alternative is the AN-VC400 which is compatible with the newer models. If using Skype on the television it *must* be connected to the internet (wire or wireless). Since I don't want to buy a wireless USB I used a Cat5\RJ45 cable.

It's a plugin and play BUT you need some software ~ if you're using skype you just have to set skype to use it in it's Optionsif you're using it for streams or recording you may want to look into Bandicam or Manycam Softwares

Yes. I did not find any apps in the android store that did not work. We even video skype last night

I always leave Skype logged in on my Smart TV (actually, every time you're done with you call and want to go back to normal TV, Skype asks if you want to stay logged in or not...you just have to choose "keep me logged in"). So if you do that, what's going to happen when you call your home is a small skype sign will pop up on the corner of the screen as long as the TV is "ON", so whoever is watching TV just have to press one button to take the call.

Hi, Jana this is a really nice tv, but doesn't have Skype and you can't download it from the apps store because its a google tv

Hi Donna! You can definitely use Skype on all nabi tablets. My family uses it when either myself or my wife are away on business and want to see how our kid's day went.

Yes, actually skype app is pre-loaded in the tablet, and we used it right out of the box (After having it charge overnight). Worked seamlessly and without problems.

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.

I haven't purchased yet, but the reason I would like to buy this one is the Skype capabilities. Will this work with the Skype app on an iPhone or iPad? I know it is set up to work on a pc/laptop, but I want to be sure it is compliant with app's also...this is for my husband who travels every week. Thank you!

Yes and yes. 1. You can make just voice VOIP calls with Skype and just Logitech's microphone and your existing speakers. It is a free call worldwide from computer to computer. It is an inexpensive call to a "regular" phone if you have purchased Skype Out. 2. Yes you can turn the video off or replace it with a still JPG file of your choice instead of showing live output. I often use "wallpaper" instead of the camera image. Magnified velcro (my current favorite background) is more aesthetically appealing than my face!

I use it on my computer monitor and it works great for Skype. I don't know how the sound would work on your TV monitor because of possible distance between you and the cam, which has the speakers built in (I think!). I'm no tech by any means, so you might want to call Best Buy and ask them. Best of luck!
