Video conferencing system and method
View Patent ↗A method and computing system for scheduling a multi-session video conference for a host. A plurality of discrete video conference sessions are linked to the multi-session video conference. The multi-session video conference is executed. The host is transferred between two or more of the discrete video conference sessions during the multi-session video conference.
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
scheduling a multi-session video conference for a host, wherein the host is a celebrity;
defining a plurality of discrete video conference sessions;
linking the plurality of discrete video conference sessions to the multi-session video conference;
registering one or more participants for participation in one or more of the discrete video conference sessions;
executing the multi-session video conference; and
transferring the host between two or more of the discrete video conference sessions during the multi-session video conference.
2. A computer-implemented method comprising:
scheduling a multi-session video conference for a host;
linking a plurality of discrete video conference sessions to the multi-session video conference;
executing the multi-session video conference; and
transferring the host between two or more of the discrete video conference sessions during the multi-session video conference.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 wherein the host is a celebrity.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 further comprising:
registering one or more participants for participation in one or more of the discrete video conference sessions.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 wherein the one or more discrete video conference sessions have a defined maximum number of participants.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 further comprising:
defining the plurality of discrete video conference sessions.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 wherein transferring the host between two or more of the plurality of discrete video conference sessions includes:
receiving a request from the host to move from a first discrete video conference session to a second discrete video conference session.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 wherein transferring the host between two or more of the plurality of discrete video conference sessions further includes:
removing the host from the first discrete video conference session.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 wherein transferring the host between two or more of the plurality of discrete video conference sessions further includes:
adding the host to the second discrete video conference session.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 further comprising:
announcing the multi-session video conference via a social network.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 wherein executing the multi-session video conference includes:
executing the multi-session video conference and the plurality of discrete video conference sessions within a social network.
12. A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:
scheduling a multi-session video conference for a host;
linking a plurality of discrete video conference sessions to the multi-session video conference;
executing the multi-session video conference; and
transferring the host between two or more of the discrete video conference sessions during the multi-session video conference.
13. The computing system including of claim 12 wherein the host is a celebrity.
14. The computing system including of claim 12 further configured to perform operations comprising:
registering one or more participants for participation in one or more of the discrete video conference sessions.
15. The computing system including of claim 14 wherein the one or more discrete video conference sessions have a defined maximum number of participants.
16. The computing system including of claim 12 further configured to perform operations comprising:
defining the plurality of discrete video conference sessions.
17. The computing system including of claim 12 wherein transferring the host between two or more of the plurality of discrete video conference sessions includes:
receiving a request from the host to move from a first discrete video conference session to a second discrete video conference session.
18. The computing system including of claim 17 wherein transferring the host between two or more of the plurality of discrete video conference sessions further includes:
removing the host from the first discrete video conference session.
19. The computing system including of claim 17 wherein transferring the host between two or more of the plurality of discrete video conference sessions further includes:
adding the host to the second discrete video conference session.
20. The computing system including of claim 12 further configured to perform operations comprising:
announcing the multi-session video conference via a social network.
21. The computing system including of claim 12 wherein executing the multi-session video conference includes:
executing the multi-session video conference and the plurality of discrete video conference sessions within a social network.
