Abstract
Systems and methods redistribute online events using mesh management. Prior to initiation of an upcoming virtual meeting, a mesh orchestrator identifies one or more user accounts scheduled to participate in the upcoming virtual meeting. The mesh orchestrator selects multiple client computer systems associated with the one or more user accounts to define a mesh. The mesh includes at least one computer system associated with a first user account for distributing one or more portions of a media stream of the upcoming virtual meeting and at least one client computer system associated with a second user account for receiving the one or more portions of the media stream of the upcoming virtual meeting. The mesh orchestrator also defines a contingency logic for applying one or more changes to the mesh prior to or after the initiation of the upcoming virtual meeting.
