A computer-implemented method within a teleconference computer hardware system that is communicatively linked to a plurality of user hardware devices and conducting a plurality of related conference calls between the plurality of user hardware devices, comprising:
- receiving, from a first participant associated with one of the plurality of user hardware devices, a request;
- determining, responsive to the request, an identity of the first participant;
- determining a type of the request;
- selecting, based upon the type of request, between joining a different one of the plurality of related conference calls and creating a breakout conference call;
- and
- implementing the selection.
A teleconference computer hardware system that is communicatively linked to a plurality of user hardware devices and conducting a plurality of related conference calls between the plurality of user hardware devices, comprising:
- a hardware processor configured to initiate the following executable operations:
- receiving, from a first participant associated with one of the plurality of user hardware devices, a request;
- determining, responsive to the request, an identity of the first participant;
- determining a type of the request;
- selecting, based upon the type of request, between joining a different one of the plurality of related conference calls and creating a breakout conference call;
- and
- implementing the selection.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a hardware storage device having computer readable program code stored therein,
- the computer readable program code, which when executed by a teleconference computer hardware system that is communicatively linked to a plurality of user hardware devices and conducting a plurality of related conference calls between the plurality of user hardware devices, causes the teleconference computer hardware system to perform:
- receiving, from a first participant associated with one of the plurality of user hardware devices, a request;
- determining, responsive to the request, an identity of the first participant;
- determining a type of the request;
- selecting, based upon the type of request, between joining a different one of the plurality of related conference calls and creating a breakout conference call;
- and
- implementing the selection.
