Handling Video During Conference Calls

During a conference call that includes a video endpoint, you can tap the

Video soft key (if you aren’t managing a conference participant) or press

to display soft keys that allow you to start and stop near-site video,

display video on the full screen, or swap the windows that near-site and

far-site video display in. For more information, see

“Customizing Video

During Calls”

on page 53.

Start and stop the transmission of near-site video
Swap the windows video displays in

During a video call, tap the Video soft key or press

to display

the soft keys that allow you to access video features. (The Video soft key

is only available when a video call is active. If you press

during

an audio-only call, the video soft keys will not display.)
The following video soft keys display:
— Stop Video/Start Video—Starts and stops the transmission of

near-site video. When you tap the Stop Video soft key, the far-site will

no longer see you, and the stop video icon,

, displays next to the

near site, in either the PIP or in the larger window in the center of the

touch screen.

In addition to customizing video during a call, you can set up your phone to handle
video for all calls in specific ways (for example, how to display all incoming video
calls, or how to stop the transmission of near-site video for all calls). For more
information, see

“Changing When and How Video Displays”

on page 137.

Note

If you want, you can disable video across all calls, not just for the current call. For
information on disabling video for all calls, see

“Enabling or Disabling Video”

on

page 137.

You cannot start and stop far-site video. If your phone receives far-site video, it will
always display it.
