Video Calls

by phin586

Hello,

I am looking for a decent video calling app that is compatible with AndroidTV, Android phone and possibly computer. I know that skype for androidtv is no longer a thing (unfortunately) so i am looking for good alternatives.

There are two options currently:

  1. Tellybean, which used to work with a usb camera but they removed it altogether and now the app needs to be installed in your phone to send the video to your ATV device (similar to Google Cast) while using the camera of the phone as a webcam, you must also install the app in your ATV in order for this to work. It was also available to be used in a web browser but they removed that option too. www.tellybean.com
  2. Trueconf, which works with a usb camera, so you can use your remote to navigate the interface, I believe it's the best option so far, you can also install the app in your mobile devices and windows/mac computers. www.trueconf.com

I usually just cast my laptop or phone screen to the TV, but I'm assuming you've thought of this already
