Make & Receive an AT&T Video Call

AT&T Video Call lets you make and receive HD Voice calls combined with real-time video.

INSTRUCTIONS & INFO
Prenote info
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.
  1. MAKE A VIDEO CALL: From the home screen, select the Phone app.
  2. From the Dial pad, enter the desired number then select the Video Call icon.
    Note: The Video Call icon displays in blue 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 blue until they set up HD Voice.
  3. MAKE A VIDEO CALL FROM THE CONTACTS LIST: From the Phone app, select the Contacts tab, then select the desired contact. Select the Video call icon.
  4. SWITCH BETWEEN FRONT & REAR CAMERAS: Select Switch camera
  5. SWITCH TO VOICE CALL: Select Voice call.
  6. SWITCH TO VIDEO CALL: Select Video Call.
    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.
  7. STOP SHARING IMAGE: Select My video.
  8. ADD A CALL: Select Add call. Enter the desired number, then select Video call icon.
    Note: You can add up to 5 people to the video call. The person talking is shown on screen at that time. Group video calling may not work for those using a different mobile operator. 
  9. RESPOND TO AN INCOMING CALL: Swipe the Video call icon in any direction to accept a voice call. Swipe the Voice only icon in any direction to accept a voice call. Swipe the Decline icon in any direction to decline a call.

    Note: Wi-Fi: Once started, Video Calls automatically switch to Wi-Fi if your device accesses an available Wi-Fi Internet connection. An AT&T wireless network connection is still required even while on Wi-Fi. Voice/data charges do not apply to Video Call over Wi-Fi. Incompatible services/Features: Certain features (Smart Limits, Ringback Tones, OfficeDirect and OfficeReach) are incompatible with Video Call.
