About Skype
With
Skype™
on your TV, you can create and share memories
right from your living room, even when you’re apart.
So there’s no more huddling ‘round the computer or missing an
out-of-shot moment. You can make free Skype-to-Skype voice
and video calls to other Skype-enabled devices.
You can talk to your friends on the big screen and transform
your living room into an experience the entire family can enjoy.

Start with Skype
The camera
Your TV has a built-in camera and microphone. The camera is
located near the Philips word mark.
If the camera is hidden when you start Skype, it will slide out
automatically. Take care that the camera is not hindered when
sliding out.
When Skype is making a Video call, the blue LED next to the
camera lights up.
