The Family Video Phone

Wherever you are,
you’re in the room.

FamilyView turns your Samsung TV into the family video phone every sci-fi movie promised. Call the living room from anywhere. See the whole family, not just one face. Watch the baby breathe in 1080p* from across the country.

See It Work

Works on Samsung smart TVs from 2022 on with the Samsung Slim Fit Cam (about $100, yours to keep). Free to start, and the full baby monitor is free for your first 30 days.

*1080p depends on your home internet connection speed and your device.

How it works

Built for the way families actually live.

Call the Living Room

Dad's on the road. He doesn't call mom's phone. He calls the TV. The whole family is right there. Amyra shows him her new dance. Josiah holds up his drawing. The baby waves from grandma's lap. One call. Everyone home.

Watch Baby Breathe in 1080p*

Crystal clear baby monitor on any phone or TV in the family. Local WiFi is free, forever. Eight hours, no ads, no upsells. When you're across the country, the monitor follows you. Same app, same baby, same peace of mind.

*1080p depends on your home internet connection speed and your device.

Grandma's Window Stays Open

Leave the app on grandma's TV. Photos from today rotate on screen. Family calendar shows what's next. When you call, no remote needed. Your face just appears. She knows it's you because it's always you.

Who it's for

Made for the people you miss.

Why a TV

Phones are for one person. TVs are for families.

The phone way

Someone has to hold it. Someone has to find the right angle. You can only see one face at a time. Kids run off because the phone can't follow them.

The FamilyView way

A camera on top of the TV. The TV's big screen. The whole room is visible. The whole family is included. Nobody is the phone holder. It's just like being there.

Most TVs don't have a camera built in. FamilyView works with the Samsung Slim Fit Cam, sold separately, which clips onto the top of your Samsung TV. Plug it in once and your TV is ready for calls.

What lands on the family TV

The little moments find the big screen.

Photos that land on the TV

Share photos from your phone and they show up on the family TV. Each person's tile shows their newest photo, and when nobody is using the TV it becomes a slideshow of the family's photos, with who posted it, when, and the town it came from.

Video messages

Record up to two minutes on your phone and send it to the whole family, one person, or one TV. The TV shows "Message from" on your tile and plays it full screen.

A tile for everyone

Every family member has a tile on the TV with their picture and a Call button. Pair a TV with the short code it shows, and belong to more than one family: your house and grandma's.
