Earlier this month, news broke out that OnePlus will be launching a webcam for its smart TVs in India. A couple of weeks later, information regarding the firmware required to support this accessory has emerged.

The existence of the OnePlus plug & play webcam for smart TVs was made public by tipster Yogesh in partnership with MySmartPrice. The same team now brings details regarding the firmware update that is essential for this new upcoming accessory.

According to the leakster, the software build required to support the OnePlus plug & play webcam is ready. In fact, he has even shared three screenshots of this update. Out of these three, one of them shows the new ‘Camera’ app in the app drawer, another shows the main interface of this camera application, and the last image reveals the update changelog.

As per Yogesh, the screenshots he has shared are of the OnePlus TV Q series. However, going by the previous report, the OnePlus webcam will be compatible with all the OnePlus TV models sold in India except for the most affordable model – OnePlus TV 32Y1. Hence, a similar update should be rolling out to those TVs as well.

Anyway, as per the changelog, the new update that will be soon seeded out to users will not only bring the Camera app but also compatibility for OnePlus Watch controls and new OxygenPlay features like Sports Zone and content rating to name a couple.

Last but not least, Yogesh claims that this upcoming OnePlus plug & play webcam with a shutter, a microphone, and a USB Type-C port could launch in mid-May at the earliest.

OnePlus entered the smart TV market in the second half of 2019. Even after over a year, the brand’s televisions are still exclusive to India. Currently, the company sells a total of five TV models across different price segments. But it does not sell any accessories for them. Thankfully, that’s going to change with the launch of a webcam.

According to a report by MySmartPrice in collaboration with Twitter user Yogesh, OnePlus will be soon launching a webcam for its smart TVs. This product is said to have passed the prototype phase.

As per the report, the upcoming OnePlus webcam for smart televisions will be plug & play type and will also have a shutter, a microphone, and a USB Type-C port. This implementation reminds us of the recently launched TCL P725 Series TVs in India, which also come with a similar type of camera.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about this OnePlus TV webcam except for the fact that it will not be compatible with the brand’s cheapest TV model – OnePlus TV 32Y1. That means this accessory will only work with OnePlus TV 43Y1, OnePlus TV 55U1, OnePlus TV Q1, and OnePlus TV Q1 Pro.
