Just in time for the December holidays, this new device makes it safe and easy for families to video call on the TV, with Black Friday/Cyber Monday specials and free secure lifetime video calling service

ONSCREEN Inc., announces the upcoming launch of the Spark — a TV video calling device that is easy to install, completely secure, and affordable. The new device addresses the need for higher quality video calling experiences for families, safe from privacy concerns, and is the most affordable TV video calling product on the market. With high quality 1080p video, HD audio from multiple embedded microphones, Zoom meeting integration, and easy setup, the device opens the video calling market to the living room. ONSCREEN will begin shipping the Spark devices in the 2nd week of December, just in time for the holidays.

There’s no denying that COVID-19 has moved many of our family interactions to video calls and Zoom meetings, including this year’s holiday gatherings. However, trying to video call using small devices can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and ultimately unsatisfying. The ONSCREEN Spark provides a completely new medium on which to experience these virtual family gatherings, your HD TV.

“This will be a great gift for my wife who hasn’t seen her mother in over 9 months due to COVID-19. She now does FaceTime on her iPhone. This will be a great upgrade to that experience,” said one early ONSCREEN customer.

The product experience has been designed for families of all ages, with minimal technology experience required. Setting up the product involves just a few simple steps: connect the camera to the TV, download the ONSCREEN app, and set up a new account. Once the account is created using the app, the new owner simply scans a newly generated QR code to the camera, and the device and app are synced. The device owner can now place calls to their phone contacts, receive calls, or join Zoom meetings. No Spark device is required to receive calls from a Spark owner, only the free ONSCREEN app.

“We know that ease of use, privacy, and security are our customers’ main concerns when trying to use video calling experiences to connect their families. We’ve built a product that addresses those concerns and provides a truly immersive, high quality experience, on the big screen TV,” states Andrew Blue, co-founder of ONSCREEN, Inc.

The ONSCREEN Spark and companion iOS and Android app have been designed with security and privacy as a first priority. ONSCREEN Inc., is not a social network or using an advertising supported business model, so customer data is never transacted for revenue. The hardware and software provides industry-leading audio and video encryption, end-to-end encryption for ONSCREEN 1:1 and group calls. Zoom standard encryption is also integrated so that you can enjoy Zoom on your TV with peace of mind. Finally, the camera offers a sliding privacy cover for maximum customer confidence.

The retail price of the ONSCREEN Spark will start at $99.99 — the best value for TV video calling technology to-date. The company will also charge a $2.99 monthly subscription for access to their secure 1:1 and group video calling service through their secure network, as well as continuous upgrades that add new features, such as games, filters, and more. However, for the Black Friday / Cyber Monday sale, the company is lowering the retail price to just $79.99, and giving early customers Free Lifetime Service to the ONSCREEN secure network.
