Group Skype with Samsung Smart TV

Is there any way to do group Skype or even purchase premium Skype through Samsung Smart TV?

Our family recently "upgraded" from a VIZIO XVT373SV to a Samsung UN40H6400 "Smart TV." We also purchased the Samsung VG-STC4000 Skype TV Camera.
As noted in the previous post (but no where in Samsung Support), Skype apparently only works through the Samsung TV speakers.
This means that my hearing impaired, 94 year old father can no longer use his Audio-Out-Connected headphones to communicate with his grandchildren at college. Skype is now unusable and useless for him.
There is, of course, no "echo issue" with headphones. Please ask your team to contact Samsung and enable at minimum the 3.5mm Audio Out with Skype.
Thank you in advance for prompt resolution so my father can reconnect with his grandchildren.

Group Skype on Samsung Smart TV's. Does it work?

I have a 65" Samsun Smart TV with a Logitek HD Skype TV Camera. The TV has a app for skype but I cant see how you do Group calling thru my Smart TV. Is it available on the Samsung Apps?
If not, when will it be available? I can do Group Skype thru my Laptop and use a HDMI cable to run it thru my SMART TV but its just a hassel to hook up everything.

Like I stated it's probably an issue with dedicated processing power more than firmware since group video calls require machines that can host them. If the current hardware is unable to host a multiparty call it won't ever happen. Smart TVs generally use ARM processors so even if it is of a high frequency it doesn't have the same footing as a standard X86/64 processor. It would be impossible to speculate since Skype doesn't put out any roadmaps. Anything that is going to come out soon tends to be broadcast in press/web style communication. If a feature like group video calling isn't offered or promoted with the product, I have doubts an upgrade of that magnitude, if possible, would be made.

How can I share my photo's, music and video's with Samsung Smart TV?? I am using Lion.

We bought a Samsung Smart TV saturday and now I want to share my files with AllShare or something else.
Is somebody here who knows how to share??

You need some software running on your mac such as elgato's eyeconnect.
This allows your tv to stream content from the mac.
There is currently a free 30 day trial of the software. I have it and it works fairly well although some protected content such as itunes purchased movies do not play although it has no problem streaming movies i have copied onto the mac from dvd's i own.

Problems using Spotify's onscreen keyboard with Samsung smart TV

Please help! I've been trying to login to my Spotify premium account (adding it to an existing account on the TV) on my Samsung smart TV, but every time I enter my username and then choose "done" to enter my password, the onscreen keyboard no longer works! It opens again like it should, but using the TV remote, I can't actually "touch" or "click" any of the letters/keys to enter my password, so I'm literally just stuck at that screen until I exit the app. Has anyone else dealt with this??? Extremely frustrating, as I feel I'm missing something really basic. Thanks in advance!

Mac Mini with Samsung Smart TV?

Hi gurus,
I'm new to Mac. Can I connect a Mac Mini to my Samsung Smart TV as the monitor?
Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. If you have got a new Mac mini (Mid 2010 or newer one), it has got a HDMI port, so you can use a HDMI cable to connect the Mac mini to your Samsung Smart TV in order to use it as a monitor.
If you have got an older Mac mini, you will need different adapters like a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter or a DVI to HDMI adapter, depending on the Mac mini model

Download current version of Skype to Samsung Smart...

My Samsung Smart TV has Version 2.0. My business associate says I needs 6.3.60.105 to be compatible. Is this true? I can't manually upgrade the TV software. What do I do?

This really does sound like a cache problem....so I suggest the following:
If you are using IE w/ default settings it will cache everything it can to "improve page performance".
In IE -> Tools -> General Tab -> Temorary Internet Files -> Settings....
Set the page to check every visit to the page
or
In IE -> Tools -> General Tab -> Temorary Internet Files -> Delete Files (check delete offline content) -> Click Ok
or
Install the MS IE WebDeveloper tool bar (search on Microsoft.com) and do Misc -> Clear Domain Cache.
If you are using FF try installing their web developer tool bar and doing Misc -> Clear Private Data -> Clear Cache.

Video calling with Samsung smart TVs

I've just bought a Samsung D6530 smart TV. Problem is that people I call can't activate their cameras so I can't see them and they can't see me. Could this be a firewall problem? There don't seem to be any settings on the TV that I can change for this?

I have the same problem,I bought this state of the art Samsung D6530 in the hope that one of the advantages would be chatting to my friends and family in the comfort of the lounge on Skype but I am experiencing the following:-
I can connect, no problem.
I can see myself in the window on the TV screen.
I cannot see my friends and they cannot see mevebut we can hear each other
I can call my TV from my laptop and it works perfectly !!
Differences... My laptop uses Vista, my friend in New York uses Mac, my family in London use Windows.
I went back to the store that supplied the TV and they said that they have heard of this problem and the way around it is check that the people you are calling have Skype 4.2 for windows or Skype 5.0 or higher for Mac.
I would be interested in your comments.

No sound on incoming Skype calls on Samsung Smart TV (UE55D8000)

I bought a camera (CY-STC1100) for my Samsung Smart TV (UE55D8000) to Skype. I can video call but I cannot hear the incoming call on my TV speakers. Is there a setting I am missing to increase the volume .

Skype is designed on purpose to make use of the TV speakers and not to output any audio to external speaker systems. The reason for this is to ensure that the audio being picked up from the TV's microphone during a Skype call isn't affected the audio coming out of your TV speakers from the person at the far end of the call. If audio were allowed to be sent to external speakers (the type, placement, volume of which will vary in each living room) then it would be impossible to effectively cancel out the echo on the call and you would get terrible howling.
However, when you make a Skype call the audio should be automatically routed to your TV speakers without you having to manually switch to them.
Let me check with Samsung to make sure this is the case...

I have a Samsung Smart TV. Skype was working. No...

I have a Samsung Smart TV. I have been using Skype for about 4 months with no problems. Then Skype was updated and it keeps saying Incorrect password. I called Samsung and they said that the Skype app was bad. Is this true and how do I get the corredted app?

Just wanted to chime in and say I've also been having problems ever since the last Skype update. I have a Samsung UN46ES8000 and we've had problems with it telling us we have an incorrect password and also problems making outgoing Skype to Skype calls once we finally do get logged in. Whenever we try to make an outgoing call the TV actually reboots itself completely. However, we can receive incoming calls just fine.

Mac Mini with a Samsung smart TV problem

Hello Everybody. This is my first time in here !
I hope someone would be able to share ideas or views about my issue.
I have a Mac Mini I used to plug into a Panasonic TV, using a a Mini Display to HDMI cable. Since the Mini Display port does not carry audio, I used a mini jack stereo to RCA cable from the Mac's speaker socket to the TV's audio. Everything worked pretty OK.
I just bought a new Samsung smart TV and planned to do the same thing. However, I was horrified to discover that the audio won't carry. From a little bit of research I have made, it turns out that the TV disables the audio once it realizes the DVI does not carry any, and therefore no sound is heard even though the RCA's connected.
One way to go around it was to rename the HDMI source to DVI - PC, but it doesn't work 100% of the time (for some reason) and did not work in my case.
So far, the Samsung guys I've spoked to you haven't been very helpful and offered that I use the TV's optical sound IN (which the TV doesn't have), and even then they did not know if it worked 100%.
I've found out that Mini Display + Stereo to HDMI adapter exists, but it's very expensive here (over 50 pounds, almost $100) and I'd like to find alternatives - The TV's speakers are pretty good and I'd like to avoid buying speakers, if I could work it out with simple cable work.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I ma having the same issue, I have one of the original Mini Mac and was connect to my Panasonic TV and everything worked fine.
I have bought a Samsung after been told by the shop it was the best and compatable only to find I like the person above cannot get any sound.
All ideas welcome.
Thanks in advance
