Abstract
Techniques are provided for adding a participant at an end point device to an ongoing conference session. An ongoing conference session is established, where the conference session includes a communication between a plurality of endpoint devices, and a bridging device facilitates a connection between at least some of the endpoint devices engaging in the conference session. At least one communication message is provided from the bridging device to a communications manager device associated with the conference session, where the at least one communication message provides identification information associated with the bridging device and the conference session. The ongoing conference session is extended to an additional participant's endpoint device, where the additional endpoint device is connected with the ongoing conference session utilizing the bridging device and based upon the conference session information obtained from the at least one communication message.
