Enable Answering Video Calls Automatically
If your system administrator has allowed access to user settings, you can specify whether to answer
video calls automatically or to have the system announce incoming video calls and wait for you to answer

unexpected caller could interrupt a meeting in progress or look at equipment and
notes left in an empty room.
Procedure
1. Navigate to Settings > User Settings > Meetings.
2. Set Auto Answer Point-to-Point Video or Auto Answer Multipoint Video to Yes.

affected.

Encryption and Security

When a call is encrypted, a locked padlock
padlock displays on the screen. The padlock icon also displays in the following situations:
▪ If you are in a point-to-point call or a conference call hosted by another system, the padlock icon
displays the state of your individual connection.
▪ If you are hosting a conference call, the padlock icon displays the combined state of all
connections: encrypted if all connections in the call are encrypted, unencrypted if one or more
connections in the call are not encrypted.
In one call, some connections might be encrypted while others are not. However, the padlock icon might
not accurately indicate whether the call is encrypted if the call is cascaded or includes an audio-only
endpoint. If encryption is required on your system, the far-end must support encryption or the call will not
be completed.
