[SOLVED] LG 75UK6200PLB Wireless Projection with Webcam

[GearoidC]

Hi there,

I have the LG TV linked below and Im looking to create a wireless conference room with it. I want to connect a webcam to it through the usb port and then wirelessly project my laptop to the television for calls using this webcam. Is this possible or are there any better solutions to achieve this?

Thanks!

My guess is that a USB webcam will do nothing. Webcams require drivers. Unless that TV has specific support for a webcam, I would not expect it to work.
I would get a NUC or other small form factor computer and mount it behind the LG and dedicate that HDMI input on the TV to video conferencing.
Then your wireless portion is just keyboard/mouse. A very doable implementation.

Thank you that's probably what Ill do so, much appreciated!
