Dynamic adjustment of user-received communications for a real-time multimedia communications event

A method for dynamically adjusting communication types within a communication session comprising:

• defining a real time communication session in which more than two participants communicate with each other using at least two different types of bidirectional communication;
• during said communication session, demoting one of the participants so that the demoted participant is still a participant of communication session but communicates using at least one less than the two different types;
• and
• responsive to the demoting, promoting one of the participants so that the promoted participant is permitted to participate in the communication session using at least two different types of bidirectional communication, wherein the promoting would not be permitted due to a system constraint on the real time communication session in absence of the demoting, wherein responsive to dynamic detection of removal of system constraint, automatically promoting at least one other participant.

A method for dynamically adjusting communication types within a communication session comprising:

• provide real-time communication session to more than two participants that are able to communicate with each other using at least two different types of bidirectional communication;
• defining a threshold for a number of concurrent participants able to participate in the communication session, wherein threshold is defined for the participants to communicate through at least two different types of bidirectional communication;
• and
• automatically demote at least a fraction of concurrent participants of the communication session participants when the number of participants increase above the threshold, wherein each demoted communication session participant is still a participant of communication session but communicates using at least one less than the two different types.
