System and method for intelligent conference session recording

1. A computer-implemented method for improving initiation of conference session recordings, the method comprising:

initiating a conferencing session between two or more participants;

determining that at least one recording threshold criteria has been met for the conferencing session, wherein the at least one recording threshold criteria is independent of a participant;

in response to determining that the at least one recording threshold criteria has been met, initiating a recording of the conferencing session; and

storing the recording of the conferencing session in a storage device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one recording threshold criteria is a number of participants who are not in attendance.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one recording threshold criteria comprises at least one of: an importance of content of the conferencing session or unavailability of important participants.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the importance of the participant is based on a position of the participant inside an organization, experience of the participant in a topic of the conferencing session, or a level of involvement of the participant in a topic of the conferencing session.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sharing the stored recording based on a vote from the two or more participants of the conferencing session.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the vote is made during the conferencing session or after the conferencing session.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the vote is made verbally by the two or more participants or by participant input using a conferencing user interface (UI).

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying in the conference UI, associated with one or more participants a bookmarking option, wherein the bookmarking option enables the at least one participant of the conference session to bookmark a time or a time period.

9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the bookmarked time or time period of claim 8 can be shared based on a vote from the two or more participants of the conferencing session.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein access control to the recording is based on voting results from the two or more participants.

11. The method of claim 5 , wherein the recording is shared with participants in attendance, with participants in attendance and with participants not in attendance, or with all users of an organization.

12. A system for improving initiation of conference session recordings, the system comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor operatively connected to the memory and configured to:

initiate a conferencing session between two or more participants;

determine that at least one recording threshold criteria has been met for the conferencing session, wherein the at least one recording threshold criteria is independent of a participant;

in response to determining that the at least one recording threshold criteria has been met, initiate a recording of the conferencing session; and

store the recording of the conferencing session in a storage device.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the at least one recording threshold criteria is a number of participants who are not in attendance.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the at least one recording threshold criteria comprises at least one of: an importance of content of the conferencing session or unavailability of important participants.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the importance of the participant is based on a position of the participant inside an organization, experience of the participant in a topic of the conferencing session, or a level of involvement of the participant in a topic of the conferencing session.

16. The system of claim 12 , further comprising:

sharing the stored recording based on a vote from the two or more participants of the conferencing session.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the vote is made verbally by the two or more participants or by participant input using a conferencing user interface (UI).

18. The system of claim 12 , further comprising:

displaying in the conference UI, associated with one or more participants a bookmarking option, wherein the bookmarking option enables the at least one participant of the conference session to bookmark a time or a time period.

19. The system of claim 16 , wherein the bookmarked time or time period of claim 18 can be shared based on a vote from the two or more participants of the conferencing session.

20. The system of claim 12 , wherein access control to the recording is based on voting results from the two or more participants.
