New Feature - Video Background for Calls

[BenGinders]

A feature I have noticed is the Call Background, which allows videos including personal recordings to be set as the call screen background..

Novelty feature but certainly a nice little quirk..

To do this folle the below instructions:

* Via the dialer select the menu from the top right corner (3 vertical dots).

* Choose 'Settings'

* Choose 'Call Background'

When I receive a phone call I can hear the persons voice, but they are unable to hear me. But when I call out they can hear me clearly. Any suggestions please to why this is happening all of a sudden? Thank you in Advance.

@BenGinders,

Thank you for sharing your tips with other users! 😉 

I hope you're enjoying our Beta Program 😊.

@Uppy,

Please try to clear cache of the Phone application and then reset your phone.

If that won't help, do not hesitate to report this problem via the Members application so that our developers can have a look at it!

You can also access this feature via the Gallery when setting a wallpaper. It gives you the option to pick Call Background.

Why dont samsung allow contact picture in full screen ? It would be more cool. I have set pictures to some of my contacts but they are showed in very small round shape i want it on full screen which is available in almost all other mobiles.

Hi Ben,

Does this have to be the same video for every call?

I was going to set a different video for certain contacts. This seems like it would be easy to do.

Thanks
