Abstract
Automatic room rescheduling is described. In an embodiment, an apparatus receives status data regarding status of communications resources capable of use in a teleconference call at a first teleconference location. The apparatus determines that a status of one or more of the communications resources might negatively affect the teleconference call. The apparatus receives availability data about other available communications resources and teleconference locations. Based on at least the status data and the availability data, the apparatus reschedules the teleconference call for a second teleconference location. The apparatus communicates information about the rescheduling and identifies the second teleconference location to one or more teleconference call participants. In other embodiments, the invention encompasses a method and a computer-readable medium configured for carrying out the method steps.
