Abstract
A method for joining a conference using a mobile device includes receiving an invitation at the mobile device. The invitation includes a link associated with a conference bridge and a first identifier of the conference. The method also includes activating the link in the invitation, sending the first identifier of the conference from the mobile device to the conference bridge, and receiving a redirect message at the mobile device from the conference bridge. The redirect message is associated with a conferencing application on the mobile device and includes a second identifier of the conference. The method also includes launching the conferencing application on the mobile device and sending the second identifier of the conference from the mobile device to the conference bridge to establish the conference between the conference bridge and the conferencing application via the mobile device.
