Video Calls

Your administrator can enable your VVX 1500, 500/501 and 600/601 phone to receive and transmit video
during calls. The VVX 1500 phones have a built-in camera, but the VVX 500/501 and 600/601 phones need
a VVX Camera to transmit video. The VVX Camera is an optional accessory that attaches to the USB port
on the VVX 500/501 and 600601 phones. See the
attach the camera to your phone.
If you do not have a VVX Camera attached to your VVX 500/501 or 600/601 phone when you receive video
during calls, you can see your contact's video, but your contact cannot see video from you.
Note: Some of the features described in this section require access to the Basic settings menu on the
phone. If your phone requires a password to access the Basic settings menu, contact your system admin-
istrator for assistance customizing your phone.

Tips for Video Calls

Use these tips when you're in a video call:
● Check your video image to make sure it's clear, bright, and sharp.
● Avoid bright lights or windows behind you. If the camera faces a window or bright lights, you may have
to adjust the camera settings.
● Avoid wearing bright colors, all-light or all-dark clothing, or busy patterns, such as small checks or
narrow stripes. Pastels and muted colors look best on the screen.
● Use natural gestures and speak in a natural tone without shouting.
● Pause between sentences to allow for possible audio delay.
● During a conference call, mute your microphone when not speaking.
● Avoid tapping or rustling papers near the microphone.
