It's crazy how much friction friction switching HDMI ports adds. I had the exact same problem trying to get my parents to use full screen video chat.
Ipads are ok but the experience of video chat on a 65 inch screen feels qualitatively different. I would buy a TV for my parents on the spot if it had a high quality built in camera. I didn't know about LG, too late now anyway.
It's 2022. I want high qualify camera on a giant screen that is so seamless it's like sharing a window in my home. It seems like a tractable problem!
- Larrikin 4y agoIs this really an issue? I never used a portal, but all of my devices seem to have some kind of override, even with an HDMI dock. I press the home button on my Roku and my Roku is switched over, I press the power button on my switch and my switch takes over. The old direct TV box that came with my apartment even switches over, although it does ignore other devices after. It's not perfect but there does seem to be an HDMI protocol for asking for control
- camtarn 4y agoProbably HDMI-CEC One-Touch Play. CEC stands for Consumer Electronics Control, and it's a suite of control signals that can be used through HDMI. However, support doesn't seem to be universal, and it seems that some TVs implement slightly different subsets of the standard.
