Handling Video Calls

Note

Your phone can exchange video with a video endpoint other than a Polycom VVX

 

1500 phone. For a list of compatible endpoints, see the Administrator’s Guide for

 

the Polycom SoundPoint IP/SoundStation IP Family available at

 

http://www.polycom.com/support/voice/. For more information, see your

 

System Administrator.

 

 

 

Your phone displays video in two windows: a small picture-in-picture (PIP)

 

window located on the top-right of the screen, and a larger window centred in

 

the middle of the touch screen. By default, the near site displays in the PIP, and

 

the far site displays in the window in the center of the touch screen.

 

Information about the call, such as the phone number of the party with whom

 

you are talking and the duration of the call, appears next to the far site when

 

it is displayed in the window in the center of the touch screen.
