South Korea says it hopes to hold the reunions around a traditional holiday.
Both Koreas celebrate the Lunar New Year on February fifth.
Several hundred separated family members met in person in North Korea last fall amid North-South peace talks.
But for now, there are no plans for more face-to-face meetings.
After nearly 70 years of separation, a webcam feed may be the only access war-torn families have to each other.
Many, however, will die without ever reconnecting with their loved ones.
