Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for enabling communication between parties are disclosed. A system may include a first communication device associated with a first user and a second communication device associated with a second user. The system may include a first communication channel between the first user and the second user for transmitting call data between the first communication device and the second communication device. The system may include a second communication channel between the first user and the second user established concurrently with the first communication channel. The second communication channel may be separate from the first communication channel. The second communication channel may be established by connection of the communication session participants to a multipoint control unit that is configured to transmit media data between the first communication device and the second communication device.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for enabling electronic communication with an audibly-impaired user are disclosed. A system may include a relay service configured to provide translation services during a communication session between a first user and a second user. The relay service may be configured to receive near-end video data from a first communication device associated with the first user, transmit call assistant video data from a call assistant station associated with a call assistant to the first communication device, transmit and receive voice data to and from a second communication device associated with the second user, facilitate far-end video data to be transmitted from the second communication device to the first communication device, and facilitate the near-end video data to be transmitted from the first communication device to the second communication device.
