Abstract
A conference system is provided with enhanced settings capabilities. A controller can poll for settings at each endpoint in a conference system and be able via the video stream to selectively display and compare settings among the endpoints. One location can push its settings to one or more locations to overcome failures or degradation in the conference. The settings between different controllers may be rationalized via a common denominator method or tabular method to build a knowledge of how to configure conferences and to automate responses to problems.
Claims15
A computer program product including computer executable instructions stored onto a computer readable medium which, when executed by a processor of a computer, causes the computer to perform a method for providing setting information, the instructions comprising:
- instructions to receive a request for a conference from a communication endpoint, wherein the communication endpoint has a type;
- instructions to determine if the communication endpoint has previously engaged in a previous conference;
- and
- instructions to send default settings to the communication endpoint, wherein the default settings are associated with the type of the communication endpoint.
