Abstract: A method for providing conference information to attendees of a conference call near real time using a plurality of conference bridges includes receiving the conference information at a first conference bridge. The conference information is generated in response to input from a participant in the conference call using a first device. The method also includes providing the conference information from the first conference bridge to a first group of attendees. The method also includes providing the conference information from the first conference bridge to a second conference bridge separate from the first conference bridge, and providing the conference information from the second conference bridge to a second group of attendees.

Abstract: A method for joining a conference using a mobile device includes receiving an invitation at the mobile device. The invitation includes a link associated with a conference bridge and a first identifier of the conference. The method also includes activating the link in the invitation, sending the first identifier of the conference from the mobile device to the conference bridge, and receiving a redirect message at the mobile device from the conference bridge. The redirect message is associated with a conferencing application on the mobile device and includes a second identifier of the conference. The method also includes launching the conferencing application on the mobile device and sending the second identifier of the conference from the mobile device to the conference bridge to establish the conference between the conference bridge and the conferencing application via the mobile device.
