Video call options and remote control question

by MetallRooster

So with Christmas approaching and us not visiting the grandparents thanks to a certain world event I am looking at options for a user friendly video call. My Philips 7303 doesn't support any webcams thanks to running Android 8. So next best thing would be Google TV dongle and usb c hub for a duo call. assuming that duo plays nice with Google TV, the next thing I wonder about is if there is a chance to remap my Philips remote so that I can use the home button to go straight for the dongle rather than the outdated android version it comes with. I assume that all other functions would work as normal within the dongle thanks to cec and there would be no actual need for the tiny remote? Anyone has tried something like this before ? Thanks

Just get a Facebook portal or Facebook portal TV

No, you cant re assign the button functions on your tv remote. The dongle idea would work but you still have to use the tiny remote.
