Abstract

Example embodiments of systems and methods for providing a video call between a first party and a second party. The method includes detecting an attempt to establish the video call by monitoring a voice call between the first party and the second party; authenticating the first and second parties; receiving from the first and second parties respective voice acceptances to invitations to establish the video call; retrieving video call identifications of the first and second parties; and establishing the video call without revealing the video call identification of the first party to the second party and the video call identification of the second party to the first party.
