Information circulating the internet suggests that OnePlus could launch a plug and play webcam for the OnePlus TV soon. The upcoming webcam is expected to be bundled with future OnePlus TVs. Speaking of backwards compatibility, the upcoming camera is expected to work with the 55-inch OnePlus U1 (review), 43-inch OnePlus Y1 and the OnePlus QLED TVs. It will not work with the OnePlus Y1 32-inch TV. There is no reason or explanation available as to why the webcam will not be compatible with the 32-inch TV.
The OnePlus plug and play webcam for the smart TVs is expected to have a built-in mic. It is also expected to have a USB-C port. It will also feature a shutter to cover the lens when not in use. The webcam for the OnePlus TVs is expected to launch sometime in May. It isn't clear if there will be any other accessories or announcement of new TVs from the company by then.
