Changing the Mode
While a conference call is in progress, users can change between any of the modes described above by enabling
the desired combination of AA and AC.
Video in Conference Mode
Click Start on the Video drawer to transmit video to the other parties in a conference. If the remote parties have
enabled video transmission at their end as well, local users will see the other parties in the top half of X-Lite’s
video panel.
Adjusting Volume
Use the microphone slider to adjust the volume of outgoing voice. Use the speaker slider to adjust the volume
of incoming sound.
Mute
Click on the dial pad to mute local sounds and prevent them from reaching remote parties. The icon
will appear on the Call display. When sound is muted, users may wish to stop any local video feed as well.

Click on the dial pad to put a caller (or callers within a conference call) on the speaker phone. Note that
users must have a speakerphone device configured before accessing this feature.
