Using Video Phone
Sending a Snapshot
The Snapshot feature lets you capture one or more still photographs,
either before or after establishing a video call. The options in the
Snapshots menu correspond to the tabs you see along the bottom of the
Snapshots window.
□ My Snapshots temporarily holds snapshots you've taken.
□ Guest Snapshots temporarily holds snapshots you’ve received from a
connected party.
□ Take A Snapshot displays your live video and is the command post
for taking snapshots.
The My Snapshots and Guest Snapshots options retain snapshots only
while Video Phone is open. However, you can also save a snapshot to
disk, as described below.
