Abstract
Methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, are described for allocating resources in a media-based conferencing session. A server computing device receives a first request to join a conference session from a first end point device associated with a non-organizer participant, including a first media stream. The server computing device determines a hosting site by querying a media location service and determines configuration attributes by querying a database. The server computing device connects the media stream to a waiting room at the hosting site. The server computing device receives a second request to join the conference session from a second end point device associated with an organizer, including a second media stream. The server computing device determines a meeting room for the conference session by querying the media location service and establishes the conference session by transferring the first media stream and the second media stream into the meeting room.
