One of the standout features of Sky Live is the “Watch Together” capability, enabling remote watch parties with up to 11 other households. The video feeds of friends appear alongside the main feed, facilitating shared viewing experiences. This feature works with all live channels and Sky’s on-demand programs, although it does not support third-party streaming services like Netflix. Sky promises synchronized playback among all participants to avoid any timing discrepancies.
Sky Live goes beyond a webcam and incorporates motion control functionality similar to the Kinect. It includes the Mvmnt fitness app, which offers 130 interactive workouts with motion tracking technology to monitor users’ form and repetitions. The device also supports motion-controlled games such as Fruit Ninja and a multiplayer version of Monopoly that can be controlled using the TV’s remote. Additionally, users can make Zoom calls with full HD video and auto-tracking features to keep participants centered in the frame.
