Video and Camera Options

By default, at the start of a video call, the Polycom Trio 8500 or 8800 paired with a Polycom Trio Visual+
with a connected camera transmits an RTP encapsulated video stream from the local camera. Users can
stop and start video by pressing the 'Stop My Video' and 'Start My Video' buttons. When users stop video
during a video call, video is reset and displays again at the start of the next video call.
You can use the parameters in the following sections to configure video transmission, the video and local
camera view, and video camera options.
