My brother is ranked 2nd in the state in wrestling and i want to be able to watch his match this weekend. Is there a way that he can have someone facetime or tango me to my phone or i pad and it can come up on the tv using the apple tv???
iPad 2
no facetime is a chat session between 2 parties with a screen and a camera
appletv dont have a camera
If you have an iPad 2 you can try getting facetime there and then use mirroring to beam it to the ATV. I haven't tried this though so can't comment on if it works.
I know there is no camera on my tv but didn't know if I could sync with I pad somehow
See my response above for possible option
I tried to get mirror me but can't sign up bc it changed to I cloud now. This ***** bc that's one thing we were excited about with apple tv. I have a blu ray player that is blue tooth enabled, maybe I can make work with that somehow with my iPad. I'm not the best with electronics
Sign up for what? All you need is airplay enabled on ATV, then when iPad is on the same network you double tap home button, swipe (left to right motion) and you will bring up the volume/brightness controls, along with airplay. Tap on airplay (rectangle with triangle in it) and select ATV, toggle ON mirroring.
The only way to mirror the iPad is wirelessly through ATV or by purchasing the adapter and connecting directly to your TV. Bluetooth via your Blu-Ray player won't help with this.
Thanks I finally got it:)
Glad to hear it
hi,
If apple can add a camera, facetime and contacts on apple tv , the problems solves easly. probably apple tv can be best tv for my.
This is a user forum.
The Apple TV is a little black box. Don't see how you would put a camera on there. The set would need the camera and Apple does not make TV sets.
It seems to me that Apple could do this by releasing either a bluetooth or wired camera that can be positioned on the top center of your TV. If wired the thin wire would just come down and plug into the USB-c port that right now says it is for service. Even allowing a bluetooth connection with an i-phone camera. Then a phone holder could be fashioned to hold a phone at the top center of the TV allowing people and families to do couch to couch FaceTime calls.
why reply to a post from 2012 ?
