User-preference information is utilized in conjunction with a conference bridge for the purpose of customizing the receiving of text data, alerts, or other associated information. These settings can be stored in a media file, or a set of data that is kept on an endpoint, such as a conference-enabled endpoint or it can be a configuration of data maintained by one or more conference bridges. This user preference information can specify various preferences such as language, font, phone capabilities, phone number associated with a conference, video conferencing capabilities, preferences for rendering images, multi-media content preferences, whiteboard resolution, volume, and in general, any preference associated with any application or data associated with a conference.

Setting user-preference information on the conference bridge

A system allows a user to drag content from one application and drop the content into a separate application. In response to the user interface functions of dragging and dropping the content, an importation system can create a data object. The object can have fields that are defined based on the application or data being dragged. The object fields may be automatically populated using a search function that searches for data in the application that may be highlighted during the drag function. The drop is intercepted the information is formatted for the receiving application. The information is formatted to meet the specifications of the receiving application to optimize the storage and use of the information. Thus, the system can translate the information from its native format into a format understandable by the receiving application.

Drag and drop importation of content

An integrated video-telephony system is provided. The system allows a video communication session to be established to complement an audio communication session when communication devices or endpoints associated with the audio communication session are also video communication enabled. By coordinating the establishment of separate audio and video communication channels, integrated video-telephone communication sessions can be provided, without requiring the use of specialized communication servers or dedicated video telephone devices.
