Why Video Chats on the TV are Ideal for Seniors

Staying socially connected with family and friends is essential for seniors, but navigating unfamiliar technology can be frustrating. Video chats on the TV offer an ideal solution because they use a device that's already familiar - the television in their living room!

Transforming the TV into a communication hub feels more natural and less intimidating for seniors than learning to use an unfamiliar device or complicated app.

TV-based video chats also provide practical benefits, like a larger screen and enhanced sound quality. Seniors can enjoy clearer visuals on the TV's big display, making it easier to see their loved ones, while the improved audio ensures conversations are easy to follow.

These features make video chats on the TV more enjoyable and engaging for seniors, allowing them to stay connected without the hassle of learning new tech.

How Does Video Calling from a TV Work?

Video calling from a TV is surprisingly easy with the right technology. With JubileeTV, your television is easily transformed into a communication hub without the need for a separate webcam or complex setup. JubileeTV connects to your TV using a video calling device called The Hub, which links through an HDMI cable and uses your home's WiFi.

The system works seamlessly with popular cable and satellite services, as well as streaming devices like Roku, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV or Google Chromecast, bridging the connection between The Hub and your TV. Through voice-activated controls or an easy interface, seniors can initiate and receive video calls on the TV effortlessly.

Once activated, approved family members, friends, and caregivers can receive calls from their loved one and call their senior's TV from anywhere with a user-friendly caregiver app installed on their smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Seniors can choose to answer calls manually or let them connect automatically, with or without the video feed. JubileeTV makes video calls on the TV as smooth and seamless as possible, empowering seniors to embrace technology and making caregiving easier, even from a distance.

How to Make a Video Call On the TV

Making video calls to your loved one's TV with JubileeTV is designed to be as simple as possible. Once The Hub is connected to their TV and a compatible streaming device or cable/satellite set-top box, they're ready to start connecting with loved ones.

Here's how it works:

1. Purchase the Hub, Connect It to Your Loved One's TV, and Activate Your Membership: Your senior will need a WiFi internet connection, a TV with HDMI, and a set-top box or streaming player, such as DirectTV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV Stick, or Apple TV. Setting up the JubileeTV Hub is quick and easy, and we'll walk you through the entire process.
2. Install and Link the App: Approved family members, friends, and caregivers can download and link the JubileeTV app on their smartphone, tablet, or computer.
3. Enjoy Easy Video Calls on the TV: Once everything is set up, the Hub and the App work together to make video calling on the TV a breeze.

Seniors can use the easy interface or the voice-activated remote control to initiate and receive calls on their television. The calls can be set to auto answer, making the experience even more seamless for those who may find using a remote control difficult.

The user-friendly app also allows approved family members and caregivers to initiate video calls, share photos or videos, and send messages directly to their senor's TV.

Adult children and approved caregivers can also troubleshoot TV issues, change channels, or adjust the volume on their loved ones' TV right through the JubileeTV App. They can see when the TV is on and get notified if their loved one deviates from their normal routine for easy check-ins without being intrusive.
