Abstract
Techniques for dynamically mapping source video streams of sources to the requested destination video streams based on a policy are provided. The source video streams that are mapped to the destination video streams are changed based on events that cause changes in the mapping based on the policy. The mappings may be managed by a media switch remote from the end device or by an event aware stream router associated with the end device. The mappings are used to display images of participants associated with the source video streams where position changes in images displayed are minimized when events occur.
