Use BToE to Manage Calls on Your Phone and Lync client
After your VVX phone is paired with your computer, you can answer and place audio and video calls with
your Lync contacts on your phone and in the Lync client on your computer. You can hold and resume
audio calls and pause and resume video calls on your VVX phone. BToE enables you to communicate
with Lync contacts using your Lync client while providing you with quality audio through your VVX phone.
You can only have a video call between you and one other person. Calls with three or more people are
audio-only.
