Chapter 14: Place and Receive Video Calls
You can use Office Communicator to communicate with your contacts using audio and video. For
example, if you have a webcam connected to your computer, you can place a video call to a contact.
When the contact answers the call, she can see your video feed, even if she does not have a webcam. If
the contact has a webcam connected to his or here computer, then you can see the video feed for that
person in your Conversation window.
In this chapter, we show you how to place and receive a video call.
Place a Video Call
You can add video to an existing instant messaging session or phone call, or you can start a video call
from the Office Communicator window.
To start a video call from the Contact List
In the Contact List, right-click a contact, and then click Start a Video Call, as shown
below in Figure 14.1. After the video call is accepted, the Conversation window expands
to display the video.

Receive a Video Call
To receive an audio/video call, you need speakers and a microphone, or a headset, or a USB audio
device. You are not required, however, to have a webcam to accept a video call. If you do not have a
webcam, you will see the caller’s video feed, but the caller will see a video icon placeholder for your
video feed.
Note
You can only make video calls to Communicator contacts within your
company and to federated contacts outside of your company. Communicator
calls to public IM contacts or non-federated contacts outside your company
are not supported.
