Abstract

A video conference client device comprises a communication unit configured to receive a first media stream representing a recorded video conference and further configured to receive meta data related to the first media stream, the meta data representing events in the video conference, a processing unit connected to the communication unit and configured to carry out a concatenation process during which at least a part of the first media stream and at least a part of the meta data are concatenated into a video signal, and a man machine interface unit connected to the processing unit. The man machine interface unit comprises a display unit configured to display the video conference and an input unit configured to generate a video conference navigation signal. The use of the video conference navigation signal and the meta data enables a user to easily navigate through the history of the video conference.
