LG TVs are some of the best TVs on the market, thanks to their excellent picture quality and impressive performance However, the company's webOS smart TV user interface is an underrated reason to buy an LG TV But now LG is releasing accessories for LG TV that further enhance what webOS can do

Starting today, LG will release the LG Smart Cam accessory worldwide This is a full HD webcam that will be integrated into any LG Smart TV running webOS 22 or 23 The camera has two built-in microphones, so of course it can be used for video calls, but the Smart Cam can also be integrated with any webOS app

In fact, the best use case for the Smart Cam may not be to turn your LG TV into a video chat machine While zooming with friends and family has definitely become more common over the past few years, the biggest selling point for me is that the Smart Cam turns the LG TV into a home fitness tool

According to LG, the Smart Cam will work with Exercite, a "home fitness app that utilizes advanced AI motion and movement recognition algorithms," allowing users to work out at home using the Smart Cam Exercite will also improve technique and access to body movement tracking to improve technique

Exercite is not the only LG fitness feature available on the Smart Cam; FlexIt for webOS also works with the Smart Cam to provide personalized fitness programs and one-on-one sessions with fitness professionals The combination of the two allows users to enjoy a personalized fitness program and one-on-one sessions with a fitness expert Combined, the two can replace the gym with an LG TV

In addition to video calling and fitness features, there are several other things you can do with the LG Smart Cam: Fun Mirror is a new app that lets you take and share selfies, turning your LG TV into your own personal photo booth Also, 1M HomeDance is a personal dance instruction app that allows you to learn new moves while having fun

Privacy-conscious users need not worry; the LG Smart Cam has a built-in cover to block the camera when you don't want to use it A magnetic connector can also be used to secure the camera to the top of the TV so it doesn't become an eyesore

Like the sound of the LG Smart Cam but don't have an LG TV? The LG C2 OLED TV is the best TV we've ever tested and is compatible with the LG Smart Cam thanks to webOS 22
