One example method for video conference acceleration includes connecting, by an accelerator device, to a local area network ('LAN'), the LAN in communication with a wide area network (“WAN”); transmitting, via the LAN and the WAN, registration information to a video conference provider, the registration information identifying network configuration information; receiving, from the video conference provider via the WAN and the LAN, an identifier corresponding to the accelerator device; after receiving the identifier, receiving, from a first client device, a request to access a meeting; determining whether the meeting is available at the accelerator device; and in response to determining that the meeting is available at the accelerator device, transmitting access information to the first client device.

Systems and methods redistribute online events using mesh management. Prior to initiation of an upcoming virtual meeting, a mesh orchestrator identifies one or more user accounts scheduled to participate in the upcoming virtual meeting. The mesh orchestrator selects multiple client computer systems associated with the one or more user accounts to define a mesh. The mesh includes at least one computer system associated with a first user account for distributing one or more portions of a media stream of the upcoming virtual meeting and at least one client computer system associated with a second user account for receiving the one or more portions of the media stream of the upcoming virtual meeting. The mesh orchestrator also defines a contingency logic for applying one or more changes to the mesh prior to or after the initiation of the upcoming virtual meeting.
