I’m a new grandfather (twins!) and can’t handle AirPlay of FaceTime to my Android TV. Perhaps in part because it’s big (Sharp LC-80UH30U), but also because I’m a pussy and get motion sick at the drop of a hat. Any recommendation out there for a fixed USB camera on each end? I don’t mind spending to get there - I can set up identical environments on each end (android TVs). Shield? Trueconf? Tellybean? Hangouts?
Does anyone have a point to point solution working?
I searched this subreddit for "webcam" and found this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/7f8rb8/google_duo_on_shield_tv_with_c920_webcam/
Congrats on becoming a grand dad! My recommendation would be to put your eye on Logitech cameras (preferably Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 or C930e). They work well with Android TV and have a really nice mic. With Shields and Logitech webcams on both ends, you can also download TrueConf for Android app for your video chats (it's compatible with Android TV and free on Google Play)
Cast your laptop screen to your TV and use that camera. I don't know any other way
First of all, congratulations!
Second, I'm interested in the answer to this too. No USB camera I connected to my AndroidTV worked.
