Abstract: A computer-implemented method for dynamically changing a conference graphical user interface is provided. The method includes providing a graphical user interface representative of a conference in an online environment to a plurality of participants in the conference, wherein the graphical user interface includes representations of the plurality of participants, and the representations are based on scores associated with the plurality of participants. The method further includes acquiring data from one or more of the plurality of participants representative of a participation level of a participant of the plurality of participants and updating the score associated with the participant using the acquired data. Moreover, the method includes determining changes to the graphical user interface based on a comparison of the scores associated with the plurality of participants and providing the changes to the graphical user interface to the plurality of participants.

Abstract: System, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions for performing the methods are provided for facilitating electronic audio and/or video communications between multiple parties over a consolidated peer-to-peer media session. The peer-to-peer media session is consolidated in the sense that at least one of the two communications systems of the peer-to-peer media session performs media data relaying functions for at least one other communications system that is also a communications participant.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing an event scheduling request in a telephony system. According to certain embodiments, a call between a first communication device and a second communication device is established. Upon authenticating a user identity associated with the second communication device, an event scheduling request is determined based on one or more attributes provided to the first communication device. A notification is provided to the second communication device based on the event scheduling request.
