A system and method for identifying errors in a video conference conducted on a network are disclosed. A central device includes a central agent that detects an error during a video conference conducted on a network between two or more endpoints. The central agent distributes a capture agent via the network to a remote device associated with a collision domain that contains one of the two or more endpoints. The capture agent collects a plurality of media packets associated with the video conference in a capture file located in a storage medium associated with the remote device until a timer expires. When the timer expires, the capture agent communicates the capture file to the central agent at the central device.

The present invention discloses a system for managing streaming data. The system includes a management module and a processing module. The processing module includes a CODEC and a streaming appliance. The CODEC connects to a MCU, receives video conference data, and decompresses video conference data. The streaming appliance functions to receive video conference data, format video conference data for streaming, and send streaming video conference data to a selected network address. The management module functions to selectively manage the CODEC and the streaming appliance and their communication with associated systems. More particularly, the streaming appliance may be a web server that functions to transmit video conference data to a selected internet address.
