Question

Keyboard and webcam, etc on a Samsung TV

This is a 40" 4K British standard TV, type UE40JU644 5 UHD.
What webcam, microphone and keyboard can I connect to this thing so that I can type into the Internet and use Skype?

Thanks,

Answer
For the webcam that would be from Samsung.

As to the keyboard, many use the Logitech K400 Plus. About 30USD here.

If Samsung doesn't offer the camera then you use a PC for the Skype.

(NT) Would an "ordinary" PC webcam with USB not work? If so, why?

Because there's no PC in the TV.

Hence you can't get drivers for the camera.
