Abstract
A video conferencing system is provided. The video conferencing system includes: a first video conferencing terminal; a second video conferencing terminal, for establishing a video conference with the first video conferencing terminal via a peer-to-peer connection; and a management server. When a user needs to add a third video conferencing terminal to the video conference to establish a multi-way video conference, the first video conferencing terminal and the second video conferencing terminal automatically terminate the peer-to-peer connection, and connect to the third video conferencing terminal through the management server to perform the multi-way video conference.
