Abstract: A user interface of a video conference system includes a bi-axial display of highlight information corresponding to highlights designated by participants in a video conference. The biaxial display shows highlights organized in timeline fashion within a panel arranged alongside a display of conference participants, and indications of those highlights within a timeline associated with the display of conference participants. The highlights organized in timeline fashion within the panel may include spaces for comments by the conference participants. Moreover, the panel may be configurable to display either the spaces for comments by the conference participants or an annotated transcript of the video conference, the transcript being annotated with indicators of instances of the highlights.

Abstract: A system and method for distributed audio/video bridging for conferencing endpoints are disclosed. In one embodiment, a plurality of endpoints are connected to a modified video communication terminal (MVCT) via a communication network. The MVCT is an endpoint including an audio/video bridging module (AVBM). Further, one of the plurality of endpoints capable of holding audio video bridging is determined by the AVBM. Furthermore, the connection of one or more remaining endpoints is transferred to the determined endpoint by the AVBM for load balancing. Also, audio and/or video bridging of the endpoints and the MVCT is enabled by the AVBM and the determined endpoint based on connectivity information of the remaining endpoints with the MVCT and the determined endpoint for conferencing participants.
