Abstract
Systems and methods for enabling one-way video calling are disclosed. The system can enable user equipment (UE) with varying capabilities to communicate in an asymmetrical manner. A UE receiving an incoming two-way video call can request that the call be 'downgraded' to a one-way video-in call, a one-way video-out call, or even an audio-only call. The system can include a multi-way video graphical user interface (GUI) to enable the user to choose between accepting an incoming two-way video call or requesting a different type of call (e.g., a one-way video call or an audio-only call). The system can also include a call initiation GUI to enable users to select between two-way video, one-way video, or audio-only for outbound calls. The system can also include a call modification GUI to enable users to modify the parameters for an incoming call prior to initiating the call.
