Gatewaying of conference calls to browser-based conferences

A system for connecting two incompatible conference systems over a network, the system comprising:

• a transceiver configured to send and receive one or more media streams;
• a conference platform gatewaying service executing on a processor connected to the transceiver, the conference platform gatewaying service configured to:
• connect a first endpoint on a point-to-point conferencing platform to a server;
• establish a connection to a meeting on a web browser compatible meeting service, through the web browser, a W3C, or at least one additional interface on the service, the connection including a virtual meeting participant that joins the meeting, wherein the point-to-point conferencing platform and the web browser compatible meeting service are respectively provided by different computing devices and are configured to utilize mutually incompatible connections by respective endpoints;
• extract digital media presented within an audio/visual user interface within the meeting on the web browser compatible meeting service;
• receive one or more remote media streams from the first endpoint on the point-to-point conferencing platform;
• and extract digital media from the one or more remote media streams;
• render a computing device that is part of the point-to-point conferencing system configured to render the extracted digital media as one or more remote media streams that are consumed by the endpoint on the point-to-point conferencing platform;
• and a computing device that is part of the web browser compatible meeting service configured to render the digital media captured from the one or more remote media streams as one or more web media streams that are consumed by a second endpoint operating a browser client connected to the meeting on the web browser compatible meeting service.
