When you place calls from call lists or directories, your phone will automatically choose the protocol to
use based on the information in the call list or directory. When you set up a contact in your local
Contact Directory, you can specify the protocol the contact uses to handle calls. This allows your phone
to automatically use the correct protocol when you dial the contact.
Tips for Video Calls
Use these tips when you’re in a video call:
 Check your video image to make sure it’s clear, bright, and sharp. For information on adjusting
camera settings, see Changing the Clarity of Your Video.
 Avoid bright lights or windows behind you. If the camera faces a window or bright lights, you may
have to adjust the camera settings. To adjust camera settings, see Changing the Clarity of Your
Video.
 Avoid wearing bright colors, all-light or all-dark clothing, or busy patterns, such as small checks or
narrow stripes. Pastels and muted colors look the best on the screen.
 Use natural gestures when you speak.
