Title: Nvidia Shield TV (Skype & Sharescreen?)
Post by: vivigamer on December 16, 2018, 05:41:47 am

Hi ladies & gents,

After failing hard at getting a new PC I was looking for alternatives and was curious to know if the Nvidia Shield TV unit can run Skype? I often sharescreen while playing a game and chatting to a friend so if this can run the Sharescreen function the PC version does it would be a vry enticing device for me... but I can't find anything on this!

Any input/help would be appreciated :)

The android Skype app is listed as not compatible with the Shield TV.  IDK if it could be sideloaded though.  Good luck!

I did get it can I couldn't even answer calls as it was in the wrong aspect ratio.

I was also hoping to play Steam games off my Harddrive but this seems to be an impossibility - which is a major set back for me.
