Abstract:
A user who is online at multiple devices can be invited to escalate an audio-only call to a video call. The escalation invitation is sent only to, or shown only at, the endpoint device that is involved in the audio-only call. The technologies can support public switched telephone network audio-only calls, and escalation can be performed as a seamless call transition from audio-only to video call.
