Can I use the built-in camera and microphone to access Skype?

[Simona_Z92]

Hello, please help a newbie out! I have the KDL - 46NX723 and I would like to know what I needed to do to access Skype? I know it already has a camera built-in so other than Skype why else would it be there? Do I have to enable it in settings perhaps? Or must I buy a separate camera/microphone I keep hearing about.

Any help would be very appreciated

Hi, that TV does not have a built in camera. You would have to buy the Sony CMU-BR100 camera to be able to use Skype.

But how am i able to see myself when i go to 'position control' in settings? Or was it installed simply for that purpous alone? Also the sales assistant used the fact that the TV has a camera as one of his main arguments in the sale

I was a bit confused at first as there is no camera in the TV as far as I knew...After a bit of reading, I can see that the TV has a presence sensor with face detection, so there must be a camera for this functionality, but it is not for use with Skype. As I said above, you would need the Sony CMU-BR100 for Skype to work.
