It makes it easy to video call an older parent, a grandparent or a loved one with IDD on their tablet or TV, with nothing for them to set up and nothing for them to press. Their screen can answer your call automatically, so you see them in seconds and get instant peace of mind. Joy works with your loved one's favorite device: • JoyTablet – turns an everyday tablet into a simple, always-on way to stay connected.
