Abstract
Disclosed are hybrid conference bridges capable of selectively operating in a replicating mode or a mixing mode based on the number of terminals in an audio conference capable of supporting the replicating mode. A disclosed conference bridge connects a plurality of terminals in an audio conference and includes a replicating-mode operating module, a mixer-mode operating module, and a management module to activate at least one of the operating modules depending on the number of terminals having sufficient capabilities to support the replicating mode.
