Maybe it's just me, but I kind of find this a bit creepy. It seems to me that it would be similar if the phone companies allowed you to listen to someone calling you while it was still ringing for them.
Maybe it's not quite what I am thinking though. I can't tell if the video preview is live or if it's something recorded before the call is made.
- thebaer 10y agoIt's live, and it says at the top: "the camera is on" basically. It's like the call already started as far as the caller is concerned -- no ringing necessary.

- what_ever 10y agoActually the person calling is on camera and the person on the receiving end sees the preview. Person on the receiving end is not on the camera until they accept the call.
- zeveb 10y agoThat's what I meant — the caller is on-camera, the callee is not, the caller knows he's on-camera, all is well with the world.
- tw04 10y agoThe person calling is the one who is being previewed. As the caller you can disable it if you don't like the feature.
- robotresearcher 10y agoI screen lots of calls via the ansaphone on my landline. It's a feature I would miss if I went mobile-phone-only. I like the idea for video calls too.
