How can I make video calls from my TV set?

Shamit used Skype on her smart TV set until Samsung and Microsoft stopped supporting it. She'd like a substitute that's just as easy to use

Skype has discontinued support for smart TVs. This was an extremely useful feature as I could talk to my parents in the UK while having my family in the shot, and importantly, without needing to pass a laptop or mobile phone around so that toddlers could speak to their grandparents. Is there an alternative that will allow us to video call using our TV? Shamit

Putting Skype into smart TV sets was a boon to families, especially for elderly, disabled or non-technical users who found a TV remote much easier to handle than a PC, tablet or smartphone.
