The user can enter the communication session via a launch page configured to allow entrance to the communication session during a scheduled time period. Prior to the time period, the launch page can present the user with a clock indicating the remaining time until the user can enter. Upon entering the communication session, the user is presented with a communication session interface enabled with a primary communication method. Communication methods can be added or terminated with terminating the communication session as long as one communication method remains active.
