My family is moving overseas beginning of 2017 with our 8 month old. We want to gift our parents with a camera that will allow them to skype with our son over the tv. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best way to do this? would like to keep costs below $100 but would be flexible if the camera provided other functionality they could use.

Thanks!

Is their TV a Smart TV with Skype built in already? If so the TV manufacturer should have a compatibility list of web cameras for their TVs.

I have this one and have used it for this exact thing...works great and looks awesome on the big screen!

As of June 2016, Skype no longer supports TV applications; there will be no more updates to the application. You can continue to use Skype on your computer, phone, tablet or browser to keep in touch with friends and family for free.

FaceTime and Airplay to Apple TV or Hangouts and Chromecast. Set phone/tablet up on coffee table in between you and the TV as the camera.
