Window Controls
You can perform several window controls:
• Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
• Minimize Window
• Information Screen Access
• Re-Size the ViaVideo Display
Picture in Picture (PIP)
You can activate ViaVideo’s Picture in Picture (PIP) feature while in
a call by clicking PIP on the on-screen remote control.
Minimize Window
You can minimize the ViaVideo application window by clicking the
minimize icon in the top right corner of the ViaVideo application
window. If you are not in a call, the window is minimized and you can
answer incoming calls normally.
If you are in a call, you can still minimize the application window
without losing full audio and video functionality. To do so, simply click
the minimize icon in the top right of the ViaVideo application window
while you are in a call.
The ViaVideo window is minimized, and the far site is displayed in a
small window that is always on the top layer of your desktop. You can
drag this window to a convenient location on your desktop.
Note If you click Mute on the on-screen remote before minimizing
the application, you can go ahead and play Quake while
you’re in a conference call. As long as you keep a straight
face, no one will know!
Information Screen Access
You can access ViaVideo information screens while in a call by
clicking Info in the top left of the ViaVideo window. Far site video is
displayed in a small window, which you can drag to a convenient
location.
Information screen access during a call is useful if you want to
access your address book, check audio transfer to the far site
(System Info>Audio>Generate Tone), or see the call connection
