Video Calls are supported on Skinny Phones

For types that either have native video support or you have a PC attached with Cisco Unified Video Advantage (CUVA) installed.

Codecs

We do support video calls using h263 and h264 codecs.

Turning Off Automatic Video Transmit

In sccp.conf just add/set:

[line###]
...
videomode=user

videomode can either be 'off', 'auto'(default) or 'user'. In the 'user' case, the user will receive video when/if it is sent. But he/she will have to press the 'VidMode' softkey to start transmitting video. This is to prevent any uncomfortable situations when you only just wanted to answer the phone.

You can also control this setting from the dialplan using: Set(SCCP_VIDEO_MODE=user) Before you continue you to the Dial() command.

Exception 8945

  • On the 8945 phones you need to go to Settings->Preferences->CameraSettings and set 'Auto Transmit Video' to 'Off'.
  • The 'videomode=user' config setting is not supported on these devices
  • The softkeyset for these devices does not support 'vidmode'
  • SCCP_VIDEO_MODE=user in the dialplan does nothing on these devices
