Skype is arguably one of the most popular video calling platforms in the world, and we can see why. It offers a free way for users to message, voice call or video call each other from anywhere in the world and brings endless possibilities, from announcing a new pregnancy to family members to hosting Skype interviews for a job opportunity. It doesn’t just stop at calling Skype users either, as Skype offers a (paid, but cheap) service that allows you to call landlines and mobiles.
So, why would Skype be a good addition to the Apple TV? Imagine getting a call from your family, and instead of talking to them on your 4.7in iPhone 6s screen, you could talk to them on your 42in living room TV. There’s obviously one issue to address with video calling, and that’s the lack of a camera on the Apple TV, but is also an issue we’ve created a workaround for.
This is purely speculation and nothing has been officially announced, but it could be possible for the Apple TV to connect to an external camera via the built-in USB-C port at the back of the set-top box, enabling both Skype and FaceTime on the Apple TV.
