Dynamic media switching between different devices of same user based on quality of service and performance

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor, coupled to the memory, operative to:
• identify a plurality of communication devices assigned to a same participant to a conference call;
• evaluate a quality-of-service for each of the plurality of communication devices assigned to the same participant to the conference call;
• designate one of the plurality of communication devices as a principal communication device of the plurality of communication devices assigned to the same participant to the conference call based on the evaluation of the quality-of-service of the plurality of communication devices;
• automatically mute a remainder of the plurality of communication devices not designated as the principal communication device;
• reevaluate the quality-of-service for each of the plurality of communication devices;
• and
• redesignate, if necessary, one of the plurality of communication devices as the principal communication device of the plurality of communication devices assigned to the same participant to the conference call based on the reevaluation of the quality-of-service for each of the plurality of communication devices.
