1. A computer implemented method for selecting a video data stream of a video conference to send to a video endpoint comprising:

  • receiving input information and attributes of participants associated with one or more video endpoints in a video conference;

    parsing the input information for parameters representing attributes selected from a configurable predefined list of values to determine whether there are video data streams available for broadcast, and whether there are parameters in an access control file granting one or more of the participants a right to control which of the video data streams available for broadcast they view;

    extracting from the input information, based on the parsing, the parameters representing the attributes selected from the configurable predefined list of values, wherein the parameters representing the attributes selected define the video data streams available for broadcast;

    storing the parameters that are extracted from the input information, as metadata associated with the video conference;

    comparing the metadata with the attributes of the participants associated with the one or more video endpoints to determine matches; and

    requesting a multipoint control unit to send one or more of the video data streams available for broadcast to the one or more video endpoints based on the access control file, criteria specified by the participants, and the matches that are determined.
