CLOUD-BASED INTEROPERABILITY PLATFORM FOR VIDEO CONFERENCING

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a distributed video conference system that allows for distributed media routing and contextual provisioning of a conference based upon static and dynamic variables in real-time, moderator control, and/or user control. In embodiments, the distributed video conference system provides a cloud-based interoperability platform that different endpoints having different capabilities can access to participate with each other in a conference. Contextual provisioning may be employed to adjust the settings for a conference and to select the different components (e.g., hardware and software components) that are employed in the conference. A decision engine may perform the contextual provisioning in real-time to provide an optimal conference experience based upon static and dynamic variables.
