Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes supporting a participation of a first endpoint in a first session and identifying a first time when a second session is to begin, where the first endpoint is expected to participate in the second session. The method also includes determining whether the first endpoint is still participating in the first session at approximately the first time, identifying a first condition when it is determined that the first endpoint is still participating in the first session at approximately the first time, and determining when the first condition is met while supporting the participation of the first endpoint in the first session. Finally, the method includes causing the first endpoint to switch to participating in the second session when it is determined that the first condition is met.
