Audio call shortcut

Is possible to create a shortcut to start an audio call via FaceTime? Browsing on web I've found a way to create a shortcut that activate a video call via FaceTime, but no way for only audio call. If is possible can we also make regular call with this shortcut between an iPhone?

Ok Alt+A is a **bleep**up on my side, it is a shortcut used by KeePass to insert credentials....but Alt+R remains

  • Is there a way to switch off by default the video on FaceTime? I only ever use this app for audio/calls and hate the video being on. I especially hate that if I leave the app open to receive calls it means the camera and green light are on.

    My issue is that I can't find a way to have the camera switched off when the app is open and so this means if I want the app open all day to receive calls then the camera is going to be on the whole time. Even if it didn't potentially drain the battery, or add to the CPU usage or whatever else may cause any problems whatsoever (wheel of death!), I just don't want the camera on as I don't see myself ever wanting to use the video call feature but I would use the audio/call multiple times throughout the day to make and receive calls. The camera being on when the app is open is enough to prevent me from using the app. Also ever since seeing that episode of criminal minds where if you saw the green light on above the screen then it meant the killer was watching you!
    Basically I just can't believe there isn't a way to disable the camera whilst having the app running. I know when initiating an audio call the camera goes away, but I would like the camera away the whole time. To me it just would make sense that if you click the video option then the camera is on, and if you click the audio option then the camera goes off. It just seems waaaaay to basic a thought for apple to have missed... Let's face it, we're not all as pretty as the people in the apple adverts and don't want to see our ugly mugs staring back as us when we work all day at our macs!

    I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
    I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

  • Unable to select 'Use Phone for audio calls' on Cisco Jabber Client 9.6 for Windows

    Hi,
    I have recently deployed Cisco Presence Server and integrated with Call Manager 9.1.2. I have successfully deplyed 6700 users on IM & Presence. Some of the users requested for Cisco Jabber with phone control.
    I have added CFS client on the Call Manager and associated it with the same extension numbers from their desk phones. I am currently able to make audio and video calls for these specific users. I am currently using Cisco Jabber Client 9.6 for windows. I have users both daisy chained to their desk phones and who are not. Can you please confirm if it does make any difference.
    Problem Faced -
    I am not able to use to option use phone for audio calls. The phone comes down with a cross sign on it. At the same time Cisco Jabber by default uses the client and it works as expected.
    Can you please let me know if any of you guys have faced a similar issue.
    Please let me know if you need any information regading the configuration used.
    Looking forward for your valuable comments.
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Joseph Chirayath.

    Hi Will,
    I am attaching the screen shot for the END USER on CUCM 9.X that has been configured on Cisco Jabber.
    Please do let me know if you need any further information.
    Thank you.

  • C90 only making audio calls

    Hello ,
    I just purchased and setup two C90s . Calling to other endpoints or inside my network between these two I only get an audio call. I have gone over everything 100 times and I just cant seem to find the issue. I have used the C series codecs for years and have not seen anything like this before. It will not push a presentation either.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response !!
    I have put these two all by themselves on a small network and am trying back and forth between the two with no other influence . Yes , they are acting just like a unit without multisite that is already in an active call.
    They are both set to 4 meg and they are the only devices on that network. There is one caveat and I havnt mentioned it because I have done it a thousand times and it never mattered . I am not using the Cisco camera with camera control and I do have the error for no camera attached.
    I have seen this tons of times in the past and it didnt matter at all. I usually hook a high end camera into the HD/SDI input for what I use these for.
    These are older "Tanberg" branded codecs tho and I am wondering if it puts the units into a state where they cant make a video call ? I looked for some API command to disable such a thing if it existed and found nothing. Im dying here.

  • Skype audio call to a mobile - data usage

    I wondered how much data is used per minute or per hour if I use the Skype client to make an audio call to a mobile. I see people saying 2Gb/hr for video but what about audio calls?
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately it seems some people forget their b's and B's.
    Remember that there is 8 bits (b) in a Byte (B).
    Some rough calculations (ignoring 1024vs1000 etc.)
    100kbps (100 kilo bits per second) is the same as 100,000bps (100,000 bits per second)
    100,000 bps / 8 = 12,500 Bps (Bytes per second) and is the same as 12.5 KBps (Kilo Bytes per second)
    12.5 Kilo Bytes per second x 60 seconds = 750 KBps OR 0.75 MB per min
    So for approximate usage at recommended rate of 100kbps for voice only Skype calls is:
    0.75 MB per min
    7.5 MB per 10 mins
    22.5 MB per 30 mins
    45 MB per hour

  • Firefox opens a new window called "shortcut to ...." at random times

    Any one else seen this?

    You may have set a download action to open a link in Firefox instead of to an external program.
    Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.

  • Lync doesnot use microphone for audio calls in Mac

    Hi,
    When Im calling from my Lync the person on the other side cannot hear my voice. Im using lync on my mac. This used to work before but has suddenly stopped working. My lync version is 14.0.10 and my OSX is 10.9.5. I use skype for audio calls on the same machine
    and it works well

    Hi AshwanG,
    You can configure your audio device settings in Lync Preferences. In the Lync Preferences window, click the Audio tab.
    If you are having audio problems, and you can't resolve them within the Lync for Mac client, you can specify the input and output devices in your system sound settings:
    Open
    System Preferences and select Sound.
    Select the appropriate settings for "Output" and "Input".
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • Lync 2013 stops responding when making audio calls

    Lync 2013 desktop client in Windows 8.1 connected to Lync Server 2010
    From my office workstation (Windows 7, Lync 2010 client, completely different hardware), from inside the firewall, I don't have any problems (IM, audio, conference, video, desktop sharing all work 100%).  At home, I haven't been able to make PC calls. 
    I can see the status of my contacts in Lync, and contact them through IM, but as soon as I try to make an audio call, Lync stops responding.  I can, on occasion, connect and can receive audio, but I cannot be heard on the other end.
    To place audio calls, I connect to my office workstation through remote desktop - the audio quality is terrible but it works.
    I'm testing various configurations using the "Check Call Quality" function under Tools > Audio Device Settings.  I can hear a couple of beeps, or even a ring tone, once, but then it crashes again.  Waiting 10 to 15 minutes, it still
    does not respond.
    I am using Lync 2013 because 2010 wasn't available through MS Office HUP.  I checked the compatibility list, and I didn't think there would be a conflict between the two versions.
    Would downgrading Lync to 2010 help?
    I am not exactly a Lync expert, so I may have some of the setup wrong.  I'm hoping it's as simple as a server/connection setting that I've missed.  I'm using Automatic Configuration under Advanced Connection Settings.
    Hardware specs:
    DELL XPS 8500
    Windows 8.1 64-bit
    Realtek High-Definition ALC887 Audio
    Creative Labs Sound Blaster Recon3D PCIe Audio Card
    NVidia GeForce GTX 660 Graphics Card
    According to Windows, all drivers are up to date.
    I had a Logitech webcam installed.  I disconnected it and restarted the computer, to make sure it wasn't affecting Lync.

    Hi,
    Did the issue happen only for you or for multiple users?
    Did the issue happen when one endpoint is internal and the other is remote or also happen when two endpoint external the company?
    If it possible, please try to use another computer login on Lync client 2013 at home.
    Please double check if you have configured DNS entry for Lync server Edge A/V service.
    Here is a similar case may help you:

    Please also double check the Edge external A/V port UDP 3478, TCP 50,000-59,999 and UDP 50,000-59,999 and make sure they are opened.

  • Pidgin gtalk audio call Error and crash

    I install pidgin 2.7.1 today ,but when I test audio call under gtalk with a friend ,
    get this message:
    First:
    Error adding stream.
    then I install gstreamer0.10-good gstreamer0.10-bad
    learn from [url]http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=732137[/url]
    but when I select audio call again, it crashed !:(
    so I rm gstreamer0.10-good gstreamer0.10-bad
    and then get this msg:
    Error creating session: Could not create the valve element
    thanks for your help!!!:D

    Could be either way. Actually, sometimes Encore is not able to handle the mismatch in audio and video duration and that is why it causes a crash or some other error.
    Try matching the duration and then build. Hope this solves your problem.
    Thanks,
    Ramesh.

  • FaceTime/Messages Audio Call Icon

    Neither my FaceTime or Messages show me the Audio Call Icon that allow me to make just audio call with FaceTime.  I only see the Video Icon that allow me to make video call with FaceTime.
    On my iPhone everything works fine.  Do I need to enable some features?
    Thanks

    According to rumors, the FaceTime Audio feature will come in Mac OS 10.9.2. It isn't available in earlier versions of 10.9.

  • No audio call with pidgin+openbox+gtalk

    I'd like to make an audio call (gtalk) from pidgin 2.10.1-1, but option is disabled, greyed out. I've gstreamer plugins, farsight2 installed.
    Any idea what I'm missing?

    Hi folks - my Lumia 900 Windows Phone was purchased in Nov 2012, no problems with it until recently when the audio on the earpiece stopped working.  If I switch to Speaker, I can hear everything loud & clear, but that is not convenient most of the time. Vols on 10, no bluetooth on.
    Have tried turning the phone off & back on (soft reboot) which initially seemed to re-set the earpiece speaker, but now makes no difference - the earpiece audio is intermittently dead.  Frustrating when you ring someone & get silence, yet a few minutes before audio was OK.  Hard reset is last ditch - I dont think it will help this intermittent problem 
    Sounds like this might be a fairly common fault with the Lumia 900.  Just bought an 820 for my wife so I hope the problem is not contagious.  Time to back up the Contacts list and make sure the Zune synch is up to date i think.  At least my supplier's support is on the ball regarding a warranty claim - looks like that is what the outcome will be.
