My brother is 84 and is deteriorating mentally more than the last time I
posted about him . I  visit him  at least once a year but this year I'm
sick myself, so I was hoping to call him on a video call.   He called me
as expected today because it's my birthday, and I asked to call him back
on my cell , and i made a video call but I didn't see his face. I hung
up and was very careful that I made a video call the second time...
still no face .He answered the phone each time and I could talk to him
and I thought since I made a video call, anytime he answered it would
also be a video call from his end too. I have very little experience
receiving video calls maybe once or twice . What is it that he was
supposed to do so that I could see his image as as well as he could see
mine ? 
 
I'd like to be assured that he still looks good anyhow .

Nobody can be technically forced to accept a video call.
How your brother can accept a video call depends on the used software.
You did not say anything about it.
