36 Calls and Chats Have a Text Chat Use your remote’s keyboard to type a message to one of your contacts. Your message, and your contacts response, will instantly appear as a text chat. These types of chats are considered instant text messages, not SMS (Short Message Service), which typically have more of a delayed response time. a) Select someone from your Contacts or Recent lists. b) Click TEXT CHAT. c) A request to reply will be sent to your contact. Once accepted, you can start chatting by using the keyboard on the back of your remote. Simply type your message and press SEND. You will see your message, along with your contact’s response, onscreen as the conversation continues. Press the Unlock button on the remote keyboard to enable typing. Text Chat Options • Views You can change the layout of your screen depending on your viewing preference. For instance, you can expand the screen that your TV program is on while minimizing the chat screen and vice versa. Personalize what you see by selecting from several configurations. You have the option to change your screen views at any time, as many times as you wish. To change the layout of your chat section, select VIEWS at the bottom of the screen or press the Views button on your remote to toggle through the choices. Helpful Hints for Text Chats • While you are typing, be careful not to press any buttons on the front of your remote. This will lock the remote and you will have to unlock to resume typing. • After 4 hours, your text chat will automatically end. You will be offered the option to CONTINUE if you want to keep chatting. • You can make and accept text chats while watching TV. Simply initiate or accept a text chat as you normally would then use your remote to select VIEWS on screen. Choose the view that’s right for you. Calls and Chats 37 Incoming Calls and Chats If you’re signed in to use Skype on TV and a call comes in while you’re watching a TV program, you have the choice to ACCEPT WITH VIDEO, ACCEPT WITH AUDIO or DECLINE. You will see an onscreen message letting you know who is calling and if the request is a video call, audio call or text chat. If you don’t make a selection after 2 minutes, the incoming message box will disappear. Whether you are watching regular or “live” TV, On Demand or your DVR, you can accept or initiate a call and the TV program will continue to play while you are on the call or text chatting. a) When you have an incoming call or chat, a request to answer the call or chat appears on the screen. Continue by selecting the contact. If you do nothing, the contact will disappear from the screen within a few minutes. b) For video and audio calls, you can click DECLINE to ignore the call or ACCEPT WITH AUDIO to answer with just audio or ACCEPT WITH VIDEO to enjoy a faceto-face video call. Keep in mind, when you accept a call, you are choosing what you will share (either audio or video), not what you will see. So for instance, when you accept a video call with audio, you’ll see your contact’s video, but you will only share via audio. Remember that even if you accept as an audio call, you still have the option of turning on video at any time during the call. c) For a text chat, click IGNORE or REPLY to begin chatting. 38 Calls and Chats Helpful Hints for Incoming Calls and Chats • Please note that there is a difference between your XFINITY Voice (telephone) calls and your video/audio calls coming through Skype on TV.

Change this layout using the View button on your remote or press VIEWS at the bottom of your screen. d) The SWITCH option on the bottom of your screen allows you to switch between the two callers.
