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 within
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.
- To make a Video Call, from the home screen, select the Phone icon.
- Review the AT&T Video Call prompt, then select OK.
- From the Dial pad, enter the desired number, then select the Video Call icon.
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 until they set up HD Voice.
- To make a Video Call to a person in your contacts, from the Contacts tab, select the Desired contact.
- Select the Video Call icon.

- To switch from a Video Call to a voice call, tap the screen and select the Switch call type icon, then select Voice only.
- To switch from a voice call to a Video Call, select the Switch call type icon.
Note: The person you are on the phone with will have the option to accept or reject the change from an HD Voice Call to a Video Call.
- To stop sharing your image in a Voice Call, select the Switch call type icon, then select Turn my camera off.
- To accept an incoming Video Call, select and drag the Video Call icon in any direction.
- To accept an incoming Video Call as a voice call, select and drag the Voice Call icon in any direction.
- To reject an incoming Video Call, select and drag the Decline icon in any direction.
- If you do not want to receive Video Calls, you can turn Video Call off from the Dial pad by selecting the Menu icon > Settings > Video Call toggle.
Note: Video Call is turned on by default. When Video Call is off, incoming Video Calls will appear as voice calls.
