Abstract
The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus for automatically distributing a multimedia call received from an originating end point. The present invention determines whether the multimedia call has been connected to a multimedia source for a minimum time period, selects a destination end point, and determines whether the selected destination end point is available. If the multimedia call has been connected to the multimedia source for the minimum time period or longer, and the selected destination end point is available, the present invention instructs a multimedia switch to transfer the multimedia call from the multimedia source to the selected destination end point.
