communicating directly. ShoreTel Communicator users communicating through a
ShoreWare server cannot use video. ShoreWare does not support server-based, star-
configurations or interoperability with other video solutions. ShoreWare performs video
calls through an SVC codec.
ShoreWare does not support video-only calls. Video is added to a voice call as requested by
a user. Video can either be added to an active voice call or established as a part of a new
