Starting a Video Conference

Making a Video Conference Call

You can make a video conference call using one of the following methods.

Note

During a video conference call, you cannot perform the following operations:

Pressing [Menu] to display the Menu screen.

Pressing [Contact] to display the contact list screen.

Make sure that peripheral devices (e.g., display, main video camera) are turned on.

If a called party does not answer a video conference call within approximately 60 seconds, the call will be terminated automatically.

2-party/3-party/4-party video conference calls can be made using the outgoing call history.

Only 2-party video conference calls can be made using the incoming call history.

You cannot add parties to an existing video conference call.

During a 3-party/4-party video conference call, even if only one party ends the video conference call, the rest of the parties will also be disconnected.

A video conference call will start with only the parties that answered the call. For example, if only one party answers a 4-party video conference call, the video conference call will start as a 2-party video conference call.
