Abstract
A method (600, 700) and apparatus (800) are described for selecting a Push to Video (PTV) service mode (303) allowing transmission of a video information stream (102) and a corresponding audio information stream (103) from an originating wireless communication unit (110) having floor control to a wireless target communication unit (120). Depending on a camera (420) setting, a desired PTV service mode is invoked when a PTV call is initiated by activating a PTV function.
