Sky has unveiled Sky Live, the clever entertainment device that will transform the way you use your TV.

Exclusive to Sky Glass, the new interactive camera brings you exciting new ways to share your favourite TV with family and friends, work out, play and video call.

Fraser Stirling, Global Chief Product Officer, Sky, said: "We surprised everyone when we launched our streaming TV, Sky Glass, in 2021. Now we’re doing it again. Sky Live makes your TV much more than just a TV, by introducing new entertainment experiences for the heart of your home.
"Get active with motion control games, work out with body tracking technology, video call on the big screen and watch TV with loved ones – even from afar. And this is just the start. With our powerful Entertainment OS ecosystem, it will keep getting better with every update."

Sky Live makes the big screen in your living room even smarter, more social, and more interactive. Key features include:
• Watch Together when you're not together
• Enjoy TV together, even when you're apart
• See and hear family and friends in their own homes alongside your favourite content on your TV screen, so you can celebrate Premier League goals together live, discuss the latest drama on Love Island, and chat through every episode of And Just Like That, S2
• Working across live channels and Sky on demand content – the dedicated Watch Together button on screen lets you invite your family and friends to watch with you
• With Auto-Tracking, everyone will always be in shot and in focus. Plus, Sky Live's background noise suppression technology means sound will be crystal-clear
• Workout with a personal trainer on your TV
• With the exclusive Mvmnt fitness app, you can choose from over 130 interactive workouts, including a range of strength, mobility, Pilates and yoga classes for all abilities
• Built-in Body Tracking technology improves your technique by analysing your form, providing real-time feedback as you move and counting your reps
• Developed in partnership with WithU and qualified coaches, Mvmnt is exclusive to Sky Live for innovative and easy ways to work out from home on the big screen
• Download the Mvmnt companion mobile app so you can also get real-time feedback on your form directly to your mobile. Plus, you can plan your workouts, track your personal progress, and share to social media.

Sky Live has been designed with the same simplicity and privacy credentials as Sky Glass. It’s easy to set up, with no remotes, headsets or controllers, and the magnetic base sits securely on top of your Sky Glass, with cables to connect to the TV. Giving you complete control over your privacy, there’s a dedicated button which lets you switch the camera and microphone on and off - when the front light is off, you know it's completely off.
