Answer BToE Calls

• Place BToE Calls
• Pause and Resume BToE Calls
• Move Call Audio between Your Phone and Computer
After your VVX phone is paired with your computer, you can manage audio and video calls with your
Skype for Business contacts on your phone and in the Skype for Business client on your computer.
Using any registered VVX phone as your primary audio device, you can place and answer audio and
video calls, hold and resume audio calls, and pause and resume video calls on your VVX phone. You can
use BToE with any VVX phone for all Skype for Business calls even if you are not signed in to your Skype
for Business account on the phone. When you connect a VVX phone that is registered to another user to
your computer, the phone acts as a speakerphone for all audio and video calls initiated in the Skype for
Business client on your computer.
You can only have a video call between you and one other person when BToE is enabled. Calls with
three or more people are audio-only.
Note: If you want to route audio from media that uses the computer's speakers, such as web videos or
media players, you must manually change the computer's default audio speaker device to use
Polycom VVX Phone.
Answer BToE Calls
When you are signed in to the Skype for Business client and the connected phone with the same
account, the way you answer calls is different than if the Skype for Business client and the connected
phone were signed in with different accounts.

• If signed in with the same user account, press the Answer soft key on your phone or click
