Using Microsoft LCS Features with Video Calls

Depending on how your system is configured, you may be able to use the Microsoft® LCS (Live Communications Server) contact list feature. This feature allows you to set up a list of LCS contacts, see if the contacts are online, and call them without knowing or remembering their addresses. Contacts appear in the directory and may also appear on the contact list home screen.

When you are viewing the contact list home screen, you can select Manual Call or press

Home on the remote control to access the Place a Call screen.
