Set Up Enable Video On/Off
The Enable Video On/Off setting improves the video conference call flow by removing the black box that is
displayed when one party has the Auto Transmit setting on their phone set to Off.
This setting works in conjunction with Auto Transmit. If the Enable Video feature is set to Off, it overrides
the Auto Transmit setting and you can send audio calls. But if Enable Video is set to On and Auto Transmit
is set to Off, the video stream is blocked and the user sends a black box to the other party. For this feature to
function, Cisco recommends Auto Transmit remains On.
The Enable Video On/Off setting functions like Video Capability: Enable/Disable on Cisco Unified
Communications Manager (Unified CM). However, the server settings override the phone settings so if video
is disabled on the Unified CM, this feature is not available on the phone and all calls are audio only.
