Abstract
A method of conferencing participant video data and audio data includes switching from a mesh-based conference to an MCU-based conference upon the occurrence of a trigger event. The mesh-based conference includes transmitting separate video and audio data streams between endpoints, and the MCU-based conference includes transmitting single video/audio data from endpoints to an MCU and combined video/audio data streams from the MCU to the endpoints.
