Video calling on TV via Chromecast

[AC Question]

I’ve been seeing ads (tellymount?) that claim you can video call on TV by using Chromecast to mirror your smartphone to TV. Before I buy a Chromecast, can someone tell me if that’s possible? The ad is on gantryworks.com.

Unless your tv has a webcam then the call will need to take place on the phone. I have tried this before, if you mirror your phone to the TV you will be able to see the caller on the TV - just bare in mind you will need to talk to the phone screen to reply.
