  - The far end will see its own

video and hear its own audio.

  - The local side will see and hear the far end.

An on-screen indicator will indicate ‘Local Loop’.

R

EQUEST

R

EMOTE

A request will be sent to set
the far end in loop.

  - The far end will see and hear

the local side (varies depend-
ing on implementation of loop functionality).

  - The local side will see its own video and hear its own audio (if the far

end supports loop).

If 

‘Far End Loop’

 is set to 

‘RequestRemote’

 while in a call and the call is subsequently

disconnected, ‘Far End Loop’ will be set to 

‘Off’

.
