Hi Kenneth,

Can you please provide the command to remove the video button only? I went into the Admin portal, to accomplish this, but it only disables the user from using it. The button is still present. Is there a way to actually remove the video button from the GUI?

Cheers,

Brian

Hi Brian.

Have you tried to sign out and back in?? This action will render the GUI again and the button will be gone. You know, you could achieve this for a large number of user with Powershell?? Also you can check the user with:

Get-CsOnlineUser <Identity> | ft sipaddress,conferencingpolicy

You will get the conferencing policy value assigned to the user.

If you run this cmdlet

Get-CsConferencingPolicy | ft identity

You will get a table of all the available policies, like this:

Identity                                    
--------

As you can see there are a lot of options to choose from, if you only want to remove the video, select one of the NoVideo policies.

I have made an Excel sheet of all the available conferencing options on my blog.

Hope this is useful to you.

    Hi Kenneth,
    
    Thanks for the answers.
    I have the same resquest. I would like to remove the "phone" and the "video" button from the interface.
    You will probably ask yourself why. We can't provide headset and cameras to each user and want to avoid them openning unnecessary tickets.
    
    I tried different combinations (BposSVoipDisabled, BposSAllModalityNoDialoutNoVideo, BposSAllModalityNoRecNoDialoutNoVideo, BposSDataProtectionNoDialoutMinVideoBW)
    and created my own policies. I'm reaching to remove the video button but not the phone button.
    
    Am I doing something wrong or incompletely?
    
    Regards,
    Fabrice
