8861 video capabilities

[Mike Assel]

I'm confused about the video capabilities of the 8861 IP phone.  If I connect a call to a video enbled device, shouldn't I see the far end video on the 8861?  I do have the Video Enabled option checked in CUCM.  Thanks,  Mike

I guess you are talking about 8961 phones (not 8861). Cisco 8961 doesnt support video camera or supports streaming video. The nearest model is Cisco 9951/9971 which supports native optional USB video camera. And Cisco 8941 & 8945 have built-in camera and also supports video calling.

I had the same confusion and opened a case with PDI HelpDesk, they confirmed me on this.

HTH.

No, I am referring to the 8861.  http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collaboration-endpoints/ip-phone-8861/index.html

I have a 9951 and that works as expected (receives video only).

Might be worth pulling the CallManager traces to see if the 8861 is advertising any support for video in the SDP.

Hello Mike, I know it is an old topic, but what was the outcome ? does it or not support an incoming video feed ?
