At least one of the endpoints may be coupled to a recording server, which may be configured to record the videoconference. A configuration may be selected (e.g., automatically or manually) for performing the recording. The endpoint (e.g., acting as an MCU) may transmit information to endpoints and may transmit recording information to the recording server. The recording information may be different from the videoconference information. For example, it may be in a “streaming friendly” format, at a different bit rate, encoded differently, have different inputs, etc. The manner in which the videoconference is stored and/or recorded may be based on the selected configuration. Clients may be configured to receive and display the videoconference from the recording server and may be configured to change the provided layout to different layouts, e.g., based on user input. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A non-transitory computer-readable memory medium comprising program instructions for recording a videoconference, wherein the videoconference is conducted among a plurality of videoconference endpoints, wherein the program instructions are executable to: provide respective video of the videoconference to each of the plurality of videoconferencing endpoints; provide second video of the videoconference to a recording server, wherein the second video corresponds to the videoconference, and wherein the second video is different from the video provided to any of the plurality of videoconferencing endpoints. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The non-transitory, computer-readable memory medium of claim 1, wherein the second video is configured for recording by the recording server, and provision to clients by the recording server without substantial modification. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer-readable memory medium of claim 1, wherein the respective video is different for at least two of the plurality of videoconferencing endpoints. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer-readable memory medium of claim 1, wherein the respective video is the same for all of the plurality of videoconferencing endpoints. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer-readable memory medium of claim 1, wherein the second video comprises periodic iframes, wherein the respective video does not comprise periodic iframes. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer-readable memory medium of claim 1, wherein the second video is in a streaming friendly format. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer-readable memory medium of claim 1, wherein the second video comprises a set of sources that is different from each of the respective video. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer-readable memory medium of claim 1, wherein the respective video comprises a recording indication, and wherein the second video does not comprise the recording indication. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer-readable memory medium of claim 1, wherein the program instructions are further executable to: provide third video to the recording server, wherein the third video corresponds to the videoconference, and wherein the third video is in a different format than the second video; wherein the third video is configured for recording by the recording server, and provision to clients by the recording server without substantial modification. ### Claim 10 A method for recording a videoconference, wherein the videoconference is conducted among a plurality of videoconference endpoints, comprising: providing respective video to each of the plurality of videoconferencing endpoints; providing second video to a recording server, wherein the second video corresponds to the videoconference, and wherein the second video is different from video provided to any of the plurality of videoconferencing endpoints. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the second video is configured for recording by the recording server, and provision to clients by the recording server without substantial modification. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the respective video is different for at least two of the plurality of videoconferencing endpoints. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the respective video is the same for all of the plurality of videoconferencing endpoints. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the second video comprises periodic iframes, wherein each of the respective video does not comprise periodic iframes. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the second video is in a streaming friendly format. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the second video comprises a set of sources that is different from at least one of the respective video. ### Claim 17 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the respective video comprises a recording indication, and wherein the second video does not comprise the recording indication. ### Claim 18 A non-transitory computer-readable memory medium comprising program instructions for recording a videoconference, wherein the videoconference is conducted among a plurality of videoconference endpoints, wherein the program instructions are executable to: receiving video at a recording server, wherein the video corresponds to the videoconference, and wherein the video is different from video provided to any of the plurality of videoconferencing endpoints in the videoconference; recording the received video. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The non-transitory computer-readable memory medium of claim 18, wherein the program instructions are further executable to: stream the received video to one or more clients, ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The non-transitory computer-readable memory medium of claim 19, wherein said streaming is performed during the videoconference. ### Claim 21 (depends on 19) The non-transitory computer-readable memory medium of claim 19, wherein the program instructions are further executable to: generate a transcript of the videoconference. ### Claim 22 (depends on 19) The non-transitory computer-readable memory medium of claim 19, wherein the program instructions are further executable to: stream the received video to one or more clients; and provide a transcript of the videoconference to at least one of the one or more clients. ### Claim 23 (depends on 22) The non-transitory computer-readable memory medium of claim 22, wherein the transcript of the videoconference is usable by the at least one client to: receive user input searching for one or more words of the transcript; and display the videoconference at the portion of the videoconference that includes a participant speaking the one or more words based on the transcript. ### Claim 24 (depends on 22) The non-transitory computer-readable memory medium of claim 22, wherein the transcript is provided as a subscript on the recorded videoconference.
