Abstract
Advances in computing and communication performance are commonly followed by applications that utilize such advances. Electronic conferences comprising audio and video may tax even the most advanced network and computing platforms when sufficient demand is placed on the conference. Accordingly, utilizing conference resources effectively and efficiently remains a concern. By allocating participating devices to either a push-to-talk group or a non-push to talk group, conference participants may selectively be enabled to contribute freely or limited to observe the conference. As a result, resources required to receive conference content from the participating devices may be allocated only to those that warrant such an allocation and not waste allocated resources that are not, or not currently, contributing to the conference content.
