Abstract
A Virtual Meeting Attendant (VMA) allows a user to share inputs with a meeting congregation without necessarily needing to participate directly. For example, a conference system can be equipped with technology that allows a perspective meeting attendee to appoint a virtual meeting attendee in the instance where the user is not able to attend the conference. This virtual meeting attendee can participate in the conference on behalf of the user. Some of the exemplary functions associated with the VMA are the ability to record one or more portions of the conference, take notes, react to action items for the user, make pre-recorded suggestions, and if required, patch in the user to allow the user to contribute in real-time to the conference.
