3.5 Handling a Call
While the Call Is in Progress
Get Information on Calls
Hover over any line that is in use to see the status of the call (for example, “on hold” or “in conference”) and the
name or number of the caller.
Video
If your version of eyeBeam includes video, click Start on the Video drawer to send video to the other party. You
will see the other party in the top video panel if they have enabled video at their end.
Adjusting Volume
Use the microphone slider (on the left) to adjust the volume of your voice for your listeners.
Use the speaker adjustment (on the right) to adjust the sound you are hearing.
Mute
Click
on the dial pad to prevent the other party (or parties for a conference call) from hearing you. The
icon appears on the Call display. When you mute, you may also want to stop video feed, if any.
Speakerphone
Click
on the dial pad to put the caller (or callers for a conference call) on the speaker phone. You must have
a speakerphone device.
Call Record
Click REC at any time during the call. Click again to stop recording. Recordings are saved as WAV files (for
audio) MOV files (for video), in the location specified in the Options window. (Click
near the top of the
Call display and select Options, then display the Application pane.)
Call Information
To view information such as the current codecs, hover over the line button (for example, line 1) that the call is
being made on. Information appears in the tool tip.
Add to Contacts List
At any time during a call, you can click
on the Call display to add the other party to your Contacts list. For
information on the fields on the dialog box and on contacts list in general, see page 17.
Unattended (Basic) Call Transfer
To transfer without informng the third party that a call is coming their way:
1. Click XFER on the dial pad. The line and the XFER LED turn blue.
2. Enter the number to which the call is to be transferred. For example:
• Enter the name or number and press Enter.
• Drag an entry from any tab in the Calls & Contacts drawer to the Call display.
The message Requesting basic transfer appears. At this point, the call is no longer under you control; you
cannot cancel the transfer.
