This question actually spans across multiple categories on TE so posting in one of them.
My 6 year old had most of his schooling (like others) online and I don't expect his next year to be offline (at least initially) too. He uses a tablet for attending the online class. I want to have a setup in which he can use the 32 inch tv we have in bedroom as screen. The tv is wall mounted.
Can anyone guide me as how can I make it all work?
I am listing down stuff I have at home already. If you think I have to buy something (webcam?) please do suggest.
- MI TV 4A Pro 32 inch (Android based Smart tv)
- Lenovo Laptop but without screen (can be connected to TV using hdmi for usage)
- Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 inch tablet
- Macbook Air M1 (don't want to hand my kid this though)
- iPad 8th Gen
I really want a proper solution if possible, not some make shift.
The only idea I have at the moment is to buy a webcam and connect the laptop via hdmi to tv and webcam to laptop and place the webcam on top of tv so my bed is fully visible where my kid will sit. I am not very sure about the mic part as sometimes webcams have mic in built and sometimes not.
On top of that, if the laptop stays so far, my son cannot mute un-mute which won't be desirable so in that case I need then place the laptop with him but then I cannot attach the webcam to laptop then.
Confusing.
Any suggestions welcome.
Edit: Online classes will mostly happen in Zoom.
