Introducing Sky Live, the new interactive camera from Sky

Sky Live games

Sky today unveils Sky Live, the clever entertainment device that will transform the way you use your TV.

Exclusive to Sky Glass, the new interactive camera brings you exciting new ways to share your favourite TV with family and friends, work out, play and video call – all on your TV. Sky Live is now available to buy from £6 per month.

Fraser Stirling, Global Chief Product Officer, Sky, said: “We surprised everyone when we launched our streaming TV, Sky Glass, in 2021. Now we’re doing it again. Sky Live makes your TV much more than just a TV, by introducing new entertainment experiences for the heart of your home.

“Get active with motion control games, work out with body tracking technology, video call on the big screen and watch TV with loved ones – even from afar. And this is just the start. With our powerful Entertainment OS ecosystem, it will keep getting better with every update.”

Sky Live

Sky Live makes the big screen in your living room even smarter, more social, and more interactive. Key features include:

Watch Together when you’re not together

  • Enjoy TV together, even when you’re apart. 
  • See and hear family and friends in their own homes alongside your favourite content on your TV screen, so you can celebrate Premier League goals together live, discuss the latest drama on Love Island, and chat through every episode of And Just Like That, S2.
  • Working across live channels and Sky on demand content – the dedicated Watch Together button on screen lets you invite your family and friends to watch with you*.  
  • And with Auto-Tracking, everyone will always be in shot and in focus. Plus, Sky Live’s background noise suppression technology means sound will be crystal-clear.

  • You can even switch from a call on your mobile to your TV if you’re signed into the same account on Sky Live. Just use your existing Zoom account and log in with your regular e-mail address and password.

Simple set up

Sky Live has been designed with the same simplicity and privacy credentials as Sky Glass. It’s easy to set up, with no remotes, headsets or controllers, and the magnetic base sits securely on top of your Sky Glass, with cables to connect to the TV. Giving you complete control over your privacy, there’s a dedicated button which lets you switch the camera and microphone on and off - when the front light is off, you know it’s completely off.

Paramount+ Invites Visitors Into The Lodge: A Paramount+ Experience at VidCon 2023

Paramount+ is a total household streamer that features iconic franchises and beloved characters.

The key will grant them access inside the ultra instagrammable room filled with pink balloons, a wedding guest book to sign and Zoey’s pink vespa that will feature wedding cans on the back.

Bringing the Krusty Krab IRL, guests are invited to come into the underwater restaurant and become fully immersed in Bikini Bottom with Spongebob and his friends. A photo moment with a take-home polaroid will be available at the memorable checkout boat.

Attendees can walk down the hallways with School Spirits filled with easter eggs from the series and ‘Missing Maddie’ posters, where a  camera will be there to tape their stroll. Guests will also be able to step inside the iCarly studio and choose from a select variety of different props to take to the stage and create their own content for their audiences.

Inside the Paramount+ Gaming Lounge, attendees can get hands on with Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway, whilst in the Nickelodeon Creator Lounge, are invited to Enter The Splat. Fans can also check out a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem activation.
