Making a video call on a computer

During a video call on a computer, you can use the speaker for wireless phone talking.

  2. Start up a video call application on the computer.
  3. View the settings*1 of the video call application.

    • For video calls on the computer, select the BLUETOOTH profile not for music playback (A2DP) but for phone talking (HFP/HSP connection). While the BLUETOOTH profile for music playback (A2DP connection) is selected, phone talking may not be available.

    • For the speaker settings, select [Headset earphone (SRS-XE200 Hands-Free)]*2, the BLUETOOTH profile for phone talking (HFP/HSP connection). ([Speakers (SRS-XE200 Stereo)]*2 is the BLUETOOTH profile for music playback.)

    • For the microphone settings, select [Headset microphone (SRS-XE200 Hands-Free)]*2, the BLUETOOTH profile for phone talking (HFP/HSP connection).

    • Depending on your video call application, selection of [Headset earphone (SRS-XE200 Hands-Free)]*2 or [Headset microphone (SRS-XE200 Hands-Free)]*2, the BLUETOOTH profile for phone talking (HFP/HSP connection), or [Speakers (SRS-XE200 Stereo)]*2, the BLUETOOTH profile for music playback (A2DP connection), may not be available for the speaker or microphone settings, and only [SRS-XE200] may be displayed.
