  3. Check the settings* of the video calling application.
    • When you make a video call on your computer, select calling connections (HFP/HSP) and not music playback connections (A2DP). If you select music playback connections, a video call may not be available.
    • On the speaker settings, select calling connections [Headset (WF-1000XM5 Hands-Free)]**. ([Headphones (WF-1000XM5 Stereo)]** is for music playback connections.)
    • On the microphone settings, select calling connections [Headset (WF-1000XM5 Hands-Free)]**. When the microphone is not set up, the Speak-to-Chat mode activates when the headset detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, and the sound from the headset is muted.
    • Depending on the video calling application you are using, calling connections [Headset (WF-1000XM5 Hands-Free)]** or music playback connections [Headphones (WF-1000XM5 Stereo)]** may not be selectable on the speaker or microphone settings, and only [WF-1000XM5] may be displayed.

Hint

Note

  • While Speak-to-Chat is enabled, if the microphone is not set up correctly, the Speak-to-Chat mode is activated when a voice is detected, and the sound from the headset may be muted.
  • Depending on the video calling application you are using, microphone settings may not be available. If this is the case, disable Speak-to-Chat using the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app.
  • Depending on the computer or application you are using, the headset may not work properly during a video call. This may be improved by restarting the computer.
