During a video call, including a conference call, a Video soft key is displayed. You can select this soft key
to access video functions that can stop video transmission, display video in full screen, and swap the
windows in which the video is displayed.
Stop Sending Video
You can stop transmitting video at any time during a call. For information on how to prevent video from
transmitting for all calls, see the section Stop Video for All Calls.
To stop sending video during a call:
» Do one of the following:
 Press the Stop Video or Video Mute soft key.
On VVX 500/501 and 600/601 phones with a VVX Camera, the LED light is amber when video is
not transmitting.
 Close the Privacy Shutter.
On VVX 500/501 and 600/601 phones with a VVX Camera, no LED light shows when the shutter
is closed.
The No Video icon is displayed next to your PIP video and the far-side cannot see you.
Stopping video or closing the camera shutter does not create an audio-only call. Even if you stop video,
video information is still transmitted to the far side as a still picture, and the call is still a video call. To dial
an audio-only call, see Place Audio-Only Calls.
No Video from the Far Side
If the far side cannot send video, or stops sending video, a No Video icon is displayed on your phone, as
shown in the next figure. If the far side is unable to send video, a thunderbolt icon is displayed next to the
No Video icon, as shown next.

Note: How can I stop far-side video?

video always displays.
