Changing Video Call Settings
When you update video settings, you change the way all video calls display on your VVX 500/501, 600/601,
or 1500 phone. If you update settings during a call, the new settings apply to the next call and not the current
call.
You can update the following video settings on your phone:
● Set the Call Rate for Video Calls
● Stop Video for All Calls
● Change Video Clarity
● Changing the Video Call and PIP Displays
Set the Call Rate for Video Calls
You can set the maximum call rate to use for a video call. The call rate you select applies to your next video
call. Your system administrator can set a maximum call rate for video calls. If your system administrator sets
a call rate limit, you cannot select a call rate above this limit.
To set the maximum call rate to use for video calls:
1 Navigate to Settings > Basic > Call Rate.
For VVX 1500 phones, navigate to Menu > Settings > Basic > Call Rate.
2 From the Call Rate screen, select the maximum call rate you want to use for video calls. You can
choose a call rate between 128 kbps and 768 kbps. The default setting is 512 kbps.
Stop Video for All Calls
You can stop your phone from automatically transmitting your video at the start of all calls by disabling the
Auto Start Video Tx setting. The default setting is enabled, which automatically transmits video at the start
of every call.
