Managing Video Calls
When the RealPresence Trio Visual+ content and video accessory is paired with the RealPresence Trio
8800, you can send video to your contacts with a connected Logitech Webcam C930e USB camera and
view video from contacts on a connected monitor. See Logitech Support for more information on the
Logitech Webcam C930e.
If you do not have a Logitech Webcam C930e connected to the RealPresence Trio Visual+ when you
receive video during calls, you can see your contact’s video, but your contact cannot see video from you.

Tips for Video Calls
Use the following tips when you’re in a video call:
● Check your video image to make sure it’s clear, bright, and sharp. For information on adjusting
camera settings, see Change Video Clarity .
● Avoid bright lights or windows behind you. If the camera faces a window or bright lights, you may have
to adjust the camera settings. To adjust camera settings, see Video Call Settings.
● Avoid wearing bright colors, all-light or all-dark clothing, or busy patterns, such as small checks or
narrow stripes. Pastels and muted colors look best on the screen.
● Use natural gestures and speak in a natural tone without shouting.
● Pause between sentences to allow for possible audio delay.
● During a conference call, mute your microphone when not speaking.
● Avoid tapping or rustling papers near the microphone.
Video Call Settings
When you update video settings, you change the way all video calls display for a RealPresence Trio 8800.
If you update settings during a call, the new settings apply to the next call and not the current call.
