Samsung TV video calling
Can you video call on a Samsung TV? Yes.
Put FamilyView on your Samsung TV, clip the Samsung Slim Fit Cam onto the top of the TV, and your TV becomes the family video phone. Your family calls it from their phones or a web browser, and calls can go TV to TV between two homes.
Works on Samsung smart TVs from 2022 on.
Have a Slim Fit Cam in a drawer?
Your camera has a job again.
Lots of Samsung TV owners bought the Slim Fit Cam for video calls, and then found there was nothing on the TV to call with. FamilyView is that app. Plug the camera in, install FamilyView, and the camera you already own becomes the family's video phone.
The camera is still yours and still works with your TV's other features. FamilyView doesn't lock it to anything; it's just the app that makes it ring.
