A telecommunication network 9 for video conference calls comprises: devices including: a plurality of telecommunication end-point devices 35,36,38,39; and a plurality of data streaming devices 33,40 each for streaming encoded data from at least one of the telecommunication end-point devices 35,36,38,39 to at least one other of the data streaming devices 33,40 and/or to at least one other of the telecommunication end-point devices 35,36,38,39. The telecommunication network further comprises a controller 34 for controlling: forming of telecommunication connections between at least some devices on the network; and data streams along the formed telecommunication connections. The telecommunication network 9 is configured such that the controller 34 controls: the forming of a telecommunication connection between telecommunication end-point devices 35,36,38,39 via at least one of the data streaming devices 33,40; and encoded data streamed along the formed telecommunication connection between telecommunication end-point devices 35,36,38,39.
