Abstract

An integrated video-telephony system is provided. The system allows a video communication session to be established to complement an audio communication session when communication devices or endpoints associated with the audio communication session are also video communication enabled. By coordinating the establishment of separate audio and video communication channels, integrated video-telephone communication sessions can be provided, without requiring the use of specialized communication servers or dedicated video telephone devices.
