Chapter 3: Using Video and the Polycom VVX Camera

Changing Video Settings

When you update video settings, you change the way all video calls display—not just the call you’re in.

You can update when and how video displays by doing the following:

 Stopping the transmission of your video for all calls

 Changing the clarity of your video

 Changing how you view all video calls

 Setting the call rate for all video calls

Note: Updated Video Settings Don’t Apply to the Current Call

If you update settings during a call, the new settings will apply to the next call, not the current

call.

Stopping the Transmission of Your Video for All Calls

You can stop your phone from automatically transmitting your video at the start of all calls.

Caution: Does Stopping Video Create an Audio-Only Call?

Stopping video doesn’t 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 Placing Audio-Only Calls.

To enable or disable the transmission of your video for all calls:

1 Tap Settings from Home view, and tap Basic > Video > Video Call Settings.

2 From the Video Call Settings screen, tap Auto Start Video Tx, and either enable or disable the

setting.

When enabled, your phone automatically transmits video at the start of all calls. When disabled,

your phone won’t automatically transmit video at the start of all calls, and will display next to

your video during video calls. The default setting is Enabled.

Changing the Clarity of Your Video

You can change the clarity of your video, including the brightness, contrast, and sharpness of your video

stream. If your camera faces a bright light source, such as a bright window, you may need to increase

the camera’s brightness, contrast, and sharpness levels so the far side can see you better. To see how

you look to the far side, view the PIP.
