To use video calls on your Samsung TV, you'll need a Samsung Smart TV model from 2018 or later. These models support video calling through the built-in camera, microphone, and speakers.

The camera is usually located at the top of the screen, and some models have a physical camera shutter. You can find the camera settings in the TV's menu, where you can adjust the camera resolution and turn the camera on or off.

To make a video call, you'll need to download the video calling app, such as Zoom or Skype, and create an account. Some Samsung TVs come with a built-in video calling app, but you can also use third-party apps.

Launching the App

To launch the app, find and launch the ConnecTime app on your Samsung Smart TV.

Your contacts must also be ConnecTime users, so make sure they have the app installed on their devices.

You can make a call by selecting someone in your contact list, which is automatically populated with contacts from your Samsung account or synchronized Contacts app.

If you call someone with a Samsung account, they will automatically be added to your contact list.

How to Determine if a Phone Has a Camera

To determine if a phone has a camera, inspect it visually, just like you would with a smart TV. Look for a small circle cutout or lens, often found on the top center bezel or slightly off-center.

Check the top center bezel carefully, as it's a common place for cameras. It's almost as small as the front-facing camera on your phone, so look close.

Many phones have cameras on the front, but some may also have them on the back or even on the bottom. Don't confuse a small camera with an infrared sensor, which is often found near the base and interacts with the phone's remote control.

Look for a small camera on the frame, even near the base, as some phones have them in these areas.
