System and method for combined meeting recording
Systems and methods for generating a recording of a meeting including receiving a respective recording of a meeting from each of a plurality of client devices. A preferred quality recording associated with each of a plurality of meeting portions is identified. The preferred quality recording associated with each of the plurality of meeting portions may be autonomically combined into a single recording representative of the meeting.
1. A computer implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a computing device, a respective recording of a meeting from each of a plurality of client devices, wherein the meeting includes a plurality of distinct components and one or more component is associated with each recording;
identifying, by the computing device, a preferred quality recording associated with each of a plurality of meeting portions, the plurality of meeting portions including discrete time-wise segments of the meeting, at least one of the discrete time-wise segments including meeting components from more than one recording, wherein the preferred quality recording includes a recording quality greater than a predefined threshold of one or more of noise and jitter, and includes a quality higher than the other respective recordings received from each of the other plurality of client devices, wherein a quality associated with each of the received respective recordings is based upon, at least in part, at least one of: available bandwidth, noise, jitter, and recording interface attributes;
combining, by the computing device, the preferred quality recording associated with each of the plurality of meeting portions into a single recording representative of the meeting; and
modifying, by the computing device, the combined preferred quality recording by replacing one or more portions of the combined preferred quality recording with a new identified preferred quality recording associated with the one or more portions of the combined preferred quality recording that is higher quality than the one or more portions of the combined preferred quality recording.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of client devices are associated with a participant node of the meeting.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each respective recording includes an audio recording.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each respective recording includes a multi-media recording.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein identifying the preferred quality recording includes analyzing a quality of each respective recording for each of the meeting portions.
6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising capturing a central recording of the meeting by the computing device.
7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein combining the preferred quality recording associated with each of the plurality of meeting portions includes modifying the central recording.
