Video conferencing is provisioned with, for example, procedures for simultaneously connecting two or more endpoints to the same video conference. Such procedures may be particularly useful for automatically initiating a video conference involving room system endpoints.

Simultaneous remote connection of heterogeneous conferencing systems to the same conference

Embodiments are described for securing access to sensitive information used by on-premises devices in a distributed system. For example, embodiments include securing access to sensitive calendar items in a video conferencing service.

Secure, customer-controlled storage for cloud-managed meeting details

Embodiments are described for a user interface presenting audio and/or video streams. In some embodiments, a request to increase a size of a first user interface element from a plurality of user interface elements displayed within a user interface on a display is received from a video conference participant's device, at least one numerical representation for dimensions of the user interface display area for each of a plurality of potential layouts for at least a portion of the plurality of user interface elements is calculated to satisfy the request, a video conference system determines a new layout from the one or more potential layouts to accommodate the request by performing at least one comparison between a numerical representation for a potential layout and each remaining numerical representation for a potential layout from the plurality, the new layout comprising at least one of a video quality adjustment of one or more user interface elements, a rearrangement of one or more user interface elements into different sizes and positions, and an elimination of a user interface element from the user interface, and a media server for the video conference apportions bandwidth for one or more video data streams from the composite in accordance with the new layout to be received by the video conference participant's device.

User interfaces for presentation of audio/video streams

Described herein are methods and systems for joining a video conference endpoint to a video conference. A user may use a mobile device to take a picture of a Quick Response (QR) code or may place the mobile device in close proximity to a Near Field Communication (NFC) tag. Such QR code or NFC tag may be associated with a video conference endpoint. The user may then transmit the information encoded by the QR code or NFC tag, along with a meeting identifier, to a server. The server, in turn, may instruct a video conference endpoint identified by the QR code or NFC tag to join a video conference identified by the meeting identifier.
