Abstract
An apparatus for providing multi-party conference and a method for assigning an encoder in the apparatus are provided. The apparatus for providing multi-party conference according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes: an image quality determination module configured to determine an image providing quality for a terminal connected to a multi-party conference created in the apparatus; and an encoder assignment module configured to assign an encoder to the terminal based on the image providing quality, wherein when an assignable encoder does not exist at the time of assigning the encoder, the encoder assignment module retrieves one encoder among previously assigned encoders and assigns the retrieved encoder to the terminal.
