Claims36
A method comprising:
- establishing a first media streaming and distribution channel in an electronic collaboration environment among a first group participants;
- and
- establishing a second media streaming and distribution channel in the electronic collaboration environment among a second group of participants, wherein at least a manager of the electronic collaboration environment is a member of each of the first and the second group of participants.
A method comprising:
- receiving operating parameters for media streaming and distribution channels for each of a plurality of established groups of participants in an electronic collaboration environment, each group having at least one dedicated media streaming and distribution channel;
- establishing receive buffer(s) associated with each other participant on each media streaming and distribution channel for which operating parameters are received;

An apparatus comprising:
- a storage medium including executable content;
- and
- control logic, coupled with the storage medium, to execute at least a subset of the executable content to implement a media streaming module to establish and control multiple media streaming and distribution channels between the apparatus and select other apparatuses in an electronic collaboration environment.
A storage medium comprising machine executable content which, when executed by an accessing machine, causes the machine to implement a media streaming module to establish and control multiple media streaming and distribution channels between the executing machine and select other apparatuses in an electronic collaboration environment.
