Using Video Phone
Video Phone with Intel ProShare technology lets you and another
person talk to and see each other during a phone call.
^ To use Video Phone, you must have a video camera and video capture hardware. If your
camera is a USB camera, you do not need additional video capture hardware. You will not
be able to launch Video Phone if you do not have the appropriate hardware.
In addition to live video, Video Phone lets you send still photographs,
called snapshots, while talking with the other party.
Setting Up Your Computer to Use Video Phone
Before you can use Video Phone, check the following:
□ Check that your computer is connected to a telephone line, USB
camera, microphone, and speakers.
See the chapter “Setting Up Your Sony PC” if you need installation
instructions.
^ You may need to select the video input source on the Video Driver screen. To access
this screen, open the View menu, select Options, select the Video tab, and click the
■ Camera Controls button.
□ Check that the party with whom you will be communicating has
compatible (H.324-compliant) video phone software.
□ If you or the other party subscribe to Call Waiting service (available
through your local telephone company), check that it is disabled. The
tone you hear when using Call Waiting telephone service will
terminate video transmission. Ask your local phone company for the
numbers needed to disable Call Waiting. To disable Call Waiting,
click the Setup button in the Communication Center and click the
Properties button in the Location information area. Click the
checkbox called “This location has call waiting” and enter the
numbers provided by the phone company.
