Dynamically selected bridge configurations for overlapping on-line meetings

Abstract

The disclosed techniques are directed to a meeting system for selectively using identical or different bridge configurations depending on whether meeting invites are directed to deliberate overlapping meetings. In some configurations, identical bridge configurations are used across the individual meetings when a system determines that invitations to the individual meetings are deliberate overlapping meetings. The system generates a unique bridge configuration for each respective meeting if the invitations for the individual meetings do not indicate deliberate overlapping meetings. The system can use one or more criteria to determine if two or more overlapping meetings are deliberate, including but not limited to the identity of the organizer, a context of each meeting, rooms assigned to each meeting, domains of the invitee, and historical activity data.
