Using the TV screen, older adults can enjoy lifelike conversations with family (especially those cute grandchildren), friends, and even medical providers.

ONSCREEN simplifies video calls by eliminating complicated devices and confusion about what to do.

When it’s this easy to connect, calls to loved ones can happen much more frequently!

Video calling designed to be senior-friendly

Technology can be confusing for anybody… especially as we age. That's why we designed ONSCREEN to be super simple and senior-friendly, using the TV, a technology they are already familiar with and have in the house!

Plus, the large TV screen provides a BIG PICTURE view and makes it easy for them to see you and your family’s smiling faces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are video calling devices for seniors?

Video calling devices for seniors are specifically designed communication tools that allow older adults to make and receive video calls easily. These devices often have simplified interfaces, larger buttons, and clear audio and video capabilities. One such example is ONSCREEN's TV-based video calling system, which is completely automated and allows seniors to enjoy video calls on their TV without any hassle.

How do video calling devices for seniors work?

These devices work by connecting to the internet, usually using WiFi, and utilizing video calling platforms, such as Zoom. ONSCREEN's video calling system, for instance, connects directly to a senior's TV and handles all the technical aspects of video calling, ensuring that the senior only needs to focus on enjoying the video call.

Are video calling devices for seniors easy to set up?

Yes, video calling devices for seniors are designed to be easy to set up. The ONSCREEN system, for example, connects to a TV through an HDMI cable and requires minimal setup. Once connected, it's completely automated, so there's nothing for the senior to do but enjoy incoming video calls from their trusted family members.

Do seniors need a smartphone or computer to use these devices?

No, seniors do not necessarily need a smartphone or computer to use video calling devices.  Some devices require a smart phone or tablet for the setup.  However, ONSCREEN's TV-based video calling system allows seniors to receive video calls directly on their TV without needing any additional devices or apps in order to receive or make video calls to family.

Can seniors use their existing TV for video calling?

Yes, seniors can use their existing TV for video calling with a device like ONSCREEN's system. As long as the TV has an HDMI input, it can be connected to the ONSCREEN device for seamless video calling.

Is it possible to make group video calls with these devices?

Yes, many video calling devices for seniors, including ONSCREEN's system, support group video calls. This allows seniors to connect with multiple friends or family members at once, making it easy to stay in touch.

How secure are video calling devices for seniors?

Video calling devices for seniors prioritize privacy and security. ONSCREEN's video calling system, for example, uses end-to-end encryption to ensure that calls are secure and private.  Only personal friends and family are able to call the senior, and there is no risk of unauthorized callers like scammers or spammers.

Can I control or manage a video calling device for a senior remotely?

Yes, some video calling devices, like ONSCREEN's solution, can be managed remotely by a trusted family member or caregiver. This feature ensures that seniors receive the support they need without having to handle the technical aspects themselves.

Can I install it easily?

If you can plug in an HDMI cable into your TV and can use a smartphone for the setup, then definitely! Otherwise we recommend you get a techie friend to help.

Can my parents see my kids?

Definitely! Seeing grandkids on TV is far more enjoyable than on the small screen of a mobile phone or tablet. Using our mobile app, you can show off the grandkids!

How do my parents call me?

If you're the only contact, they just have to press the green button on the remote control.  If you set up multiple contacts for them, they can select who they want to call using the remote, on the TV screen.

How do I reach support?

Our US-based customer support is available by phone, chat and email during regular business hours.  Click here to learn about all of our contact options.

Can I use Zoom?

Absolutely! We've made it very easy to join your parent's TV to a Zoom meeting. All you have to do is enter the Zoom meeting code and password into our app, and they will instantly join.

Does the TV always need to be on?

No. Our smartdevice is smart enough to turn most modern TVs on* and switch modes to the correct HDMI port. 
*HDMI CEC supported TV required.

Who is this product made for?

Our product is built to support older adults as they age, and give peace of mind to their family, usually their adult children.
