Make & Receive an AT&T Video Call
AT&T Video Call lets you make and receive HD Voice calls combined with real-time video.
All AT&T Video Call participants need a video call capable device and a postpaid wireless account that is set up for
AT&T HD Voice. At this time, Video Call is available between AT&T customers withinÂ
AT&T HD Voice coverage areas and with users on carriers that interoperate with AT&T. Each call uses both voice & data (HD Voice part of the call is billed as a regular voice call, while the video portion of the call incurs data usage charges). No voice or data charges apply once a Video Call hands over to Wi-Fi. Certain features (Smart Limits, Ringback Tones, OfficeDirect and OfficeReach) are incompatible with Video Call.

- From the Dial pad, enter the desired number then select the Video Call icon.Â
Note: The Video Call icon displays in green if the person has the capability to receive a Video Call and grey if the person does not have the capability to receive a Video Call. If you make a call to someone on a different mobile operator that interoperates with AT&T, the button may not turn green/blue until they set up HD Voice.
