Abstract

There is provided a system and method for streaming a live teleconference feed to a mobile client device. There is provided a method comprising receiving a live video feed from a video splitter concurrently outputting to a display device, converting the live video feed into an intermediate video stream, determining playback capabilities of the client device, transcoding the intermediate video stream into a final video stream based on the playback capabilities of the client device, and streaming the final video stream to the client device for output to a display of the client device. The live video feed may comprise a live video feed from a conventional teleconferencing system. In this manner, conventionally closed systems, such as teleconferencing systems, may be augmented to support live video streaming and collaboration with various remote client devices.
