Handling Video Calls - Polycom VVX 500 User Manual

Polycom® VVX® 500/501 and Polycom® VVX® 600/601 Business Media Phones and Polycom® VVX® Camera User Guide
Note: The Way Far-Side Video Displays On Your Phone May Vary
Depending on the phone or system that's sending video, black bars may appear on the top,
bottom, or sides of the video image. This occurs because the aspect ratio of the sent video doesn't
match the display area on your phone, and the portions of the video that aren't being received
display as black bars. If the received video matches your phone's display area, the received video
will fill the screen. If black bars display, you can remove them by selecting 'cropped' video screen
mode (see Changing How Non-PIP Video Displays).
Handling Video Calls
Note: What You'll Learn in this Section
This section shows you how to customize video during a video call. During a video call, you can
stop sending your video, swap video, or view full-screen video. All these actions affect only the
call you're in—not future video calls. To learn how to customize video so that it affects all video
calls—not just the call you're in—see Virtual Room Multiparty Video Conferences
