Handling Video and Audio Calls

When you have multiple calls, you can easily manage a video call from the Calls screen. In the Calls
screen on VVX 500/501 and 600/601 phones, you can identify the video call by the video stream that is
displayed next to the call's details.
When two or more calls are video calls, only the active call displays video. On VVX 500/501 and 600/601
phones, all other video calls show a paused grayscale image of the far-side taken just before the call was
held. When you resume a held video call, the held call becomes active and displays video.

Handle Conference Calls with Video

When you set up a conference, your phone displays video for only one conference participant at a time,
even if more than one participant can send video.
The person whose video you see is the last person with video enabled who joined the conference. If you
use the Join soft key to set up the conference, you see the video of the person who was held just prior to
joining the conference.
Note: Viewing all video participants requires the use of a Polycom Video Conference Bridge. For more
information, contact your Polycom reseller.
When your system administrator enables the conference management feature on your phone, you can
select whose video to see.
Procedure
1. During a conference call, select a contact and tap Select Video.
The Select Video soft key does not display when you're exchanging video with the selected party
or when the party does not have video capability.
The person who previously displayed video is replaced with the person you selected.

Managing Video Calls without a USB Camera

When you do not have a USB camera attached to your VVX 500/501 or 600/601 phone, you can receive
video, but you cannot send video. Video always displays when the person you are talking with can send
video, and your phone is enabled to receive video.
If you place a video call on hold, the person's video stream stops and is replaced by a paused grayscale
image taken just before you held the call, as displayed next. The person's video stream returns when you
resume the call.

Handling Video and Audio-Only Calls

When you have multiple calls, you can easily manage a video call from the Calls screen. From the Calls
screen, you can quickly identify the video call by the video stream that is displayed next to the call details.
If two or more calls are video calls, only the active call shows a video stream of the far side. All other
video calls show a paused grayscale image of the far side. If you resume a held video call, the held call
becomes active and displays an active video stream again.
