Receive a video call

A contact is not required to have the Polycom CX5000 device or a webcam to accept a
video call; in that case, the contact can view the caller’s video feed, but the caller sees a
video icon placeholder instead of the contact’s video feed.

>> Click the left pane of the Video Call invitation alert.

When you accept a Video Call invitation, the Communicator

Conversation

window opens

and shows the caller’s video stream.
