Abstract
To select an appropriate multipoint control unit (MCU) for hosting an upcoming video meeting, video meeting data of previous meetings is stored, including time and location data associated with meetings conducted on a bridge ID and attended by participants located in different regions. The schedule time of an upcoming video meeting using the bridge ID is compared with the time data of previous video meetings on the bridge ID to identify related video meetings among the previous video meetings, the related video meetings being time correlated with the scheduled time of the upcoming video meeting. One of a number of MCUs in the network is selected to be a host MCU to host the upcoming video meeting based on the location data of the related video meetings, in which the host MCU is selected as a function of its proximity to locations of participants of the related video meetings.
