Video Phones

Are there any supported phones for 3CX that support video calling?
I know some of say the Yealink phones have cameras, but wasnt sure if you could do video calls with 3CX?

Yes. Video calling between endpoints will work as long as there's a common codec. I think 3CX supports H264 and VP9. I recommend H264 for maximum compatibility.

Note that the Windows/Mac client does not support video calling other than VP9.

Do you happen to know which supported deskphones will work with it?
When I search on doing so, it seems to default back to video conferences vs video calls.

The Yealink T49 was the only true video by Yealink phone and was not supported (although templates were available) it worked fine however with 3CX client also.

This unit went EOL however as they weren't very popular.

I spoke with one of the distributors and they recommended the 3CX supported Yealink T58A with Camera. And that the video runs independent of 3CX between the phones. Has anyone used these with 3CX? How was the experience?

I have used the Androids also, but not mentioned it previously as I always have found them over expensive for what you get. If price is not an issue however.....

What is the use case ? why not jut use 3CX webmeeting ?

 

[Chris Wheeler]

The prospect is moving off of a system that has desk phone video calling and it is a requirement of theirs.

we could not get our Yealink T58's to work out of the box w/ 3cx video.... had to use app installs onto the phones OS, and then use a 3rd party app to connect the video with. Defeats the purpose of 3cx video calling, lol.... for videos w/ 3cx we just use webmeetings and laptops webcams and that gets the job done.
