Leaving Skype app in background on Samsung UE40D6750 led tv - possible?

Hello,

 

was wondering if it's possible to leave the Skype app running in background on my Samsung UE40D6750 led tv so that when someone calls me the TV prompts on screen to pick up the call? At the moment, the only way to use skype is to launch the Smart Tv service and launch the Skype app directly when I want to make a call. There's no way to leave it in background, so when my family (abroad) call me they have to ring me first on my landline, then I launch Skype from SmartTV and only then the call with Skype can happen. Their cheaper Panasonic Viera manages Skype in background as a breeze (and the whole app section is way faster than the Sammy...)

 

Many thanks in advance for any hints/suggestions!

Hi. I can on mine. There is an option to have the TV login to Skype when it is turned on. 

 

I have to say though that video is hit and miss  sometimes I have to turn TV off and back in, and at present my tv won't even turn on at all. Overall I am very disappointed with my Samsung 'smart' TV.
