Muting Automatically Answered Video CallsIf your system administrator has allowed access to user settings, you can
choose whether to mute the audio when automatically answered video calls
connect. This prevents callers from overhearing conversations or meetings.
After the call connects, you can press Mute on the remote control when
you’re ready to unmute the microphones.

1Select System from the Home screen.
2Select User Settings from the System screen.

Automatically answering calls is convenient, but it can create security issues. An
unexpected caller could interrupt a meeting in progress or look at equipment and
notes left in an empty room.
If you enable automatic muting during a call, the audio for the current meeting is not
affected.
