to communicate with Skype for Business contacts using your Skype for Business client while providing you
with quality audio through your VVX phone.
You can use any registered VVX phone as your primary audio device for all Skype for Business calls even
if you are not signed into 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. 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 from web videos
or media players, you must manually change the computer's default audio speaker device to use Polycom
VVX Phone.
