A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising:

• a computer program stored in the computer readable medium, the computer program comprising:
• instructions to send from a first client device to a server, data indicating a first list designating a first group of video conference participants' end user devices' addresses;
• and
• instructions to send from the client device to the server, a first video conference data, the first video conference data to be sent from the server over a single video conference channel in the video system to first group of video conference participants' end user devices addresses, wherein each of a plurality of groups of end user devices receives a different one of a plurality of video conferences data over a single video conference channel.

A system for distributing video conference data over a video system, the system comprising:

• instructions to allocate at a server in the video system, a single video conference channel for viewing at a end user device by each of a plurality of groups of video conference participants' end user devices, wherein each of the plurality of groups of end user devices receives a different one of a plurality of video conferences data for viewing over the single video conference channel;
• instructions to map at the server, a first one of the plurality of internet protocol addresses for a first one of the plurality of video conferences data to a first group of video conference participants' end user devices internet protocol addresses, wherein the first one of the plurality of video conferences data and a second one of the plurality of video conferences data are different video conference data;
• instructions to send duplicated audio data, concurrently with the video broadcast during the video conference, to a mobile device associated with a video conference participant associated with one of the plurality of end user devices in the first group whom has left the one of the plurality of end user devices in the first group during the video conference;
