Transitioning video call between devices

A method comprising the steps of:

• detecting, at a first portable computing device, during a video chat between said first portable computing device and a second device, a gesture which indicates that media packets from said second device intended for said first device are to be sent to a third device;
• and
• responsive to said detecting, sending a flip signal from said first portable computing device to a signaling server, said flip signal indicating that said media packets from said second device intended for said first device are to be sent to said third device, said flip signal being configured to cause said signaling server to send a call request to said third device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions which when executed by a first portable computing device cause the first portable computing device to perform the method of:

• detecting, at said first portable computing device, during a video chat between said first portable computing device and a second device, a gesture which indicates that media packets from said second device intended for said first device are to be sent to a third device;
• and
• responsive to said detecting, sending a flip signal from said first portable computing device to a signaling server, said flip signal indicating that said media packets from said second device intended for said first device are to be sent to said third device, said flip signal being configured to cause said signaling server to send a call request to said third device.

A first portable computing device comprising:

• means for detecting, at said first portable computing device, during a video chat between said first portable computing device and a second device, a gesture which indicates that media packets from said second device intended for said first device are to be sent to a third device;
• and
• means, responsive to said detecting, for sending a flip signal from said first portable computing device to a signaling server, said flip signal indicating that said media packets from said second device intended for said first device are to be sent to said third device, said flip signal being configured to cause said signaling server to send a call request to said third device.
