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.
