Abstract
A system for endpoint device-specific stream control for multimedia conferencing may include one or more processors and memory. The one or more processors may perform steps of providing a hosted multimedia conference to participant devices, determining whether each participant device is capable of providing a video stream transmission and providing, to each participant device, video stream controls that provide for controlling video streams of exclusively the other participant devices that are determined to be capable of providing video stream transmissions. The steps may further include receiving a selection of a first video stream control corresponding to a first participant device from second and third participant devices, receiving a video stream from the first participant device, and providing the video stream to the second and third participant devices based at least in part on the received selections of the first video stream control by the second and third participant devices.
