MULTIMEDIA CONFERENCE BROADCAST SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- initiating a connection to a multimedia conference to join as a non-participant of the multimedia conference, the multimedia conference being hosted with a plurality of participant devices;
receiving data streams from at least one participant device of the plurality of participant devices through the initiated connection;
integrating the received data streams into a composite stream; and
providing the composite stream for broadcast to a plurality of endpoint devices, the plurality of endpoint devices being non-participants of the multimedia conference, the composite stream being broadcast independent of the initiated connection to the multimedia conference.

Abstract
A multimedia conference broadcast system may include one or more processors and a memory. The one or more processors may receive video streams and audio streams from participant devices. The one or more processors may transmit, to each of the participant devices, the video streams and the audio streams corresponding to the other devices. The one or more processors may receive a request to broadcast the video streams and the audio streams from one of the participant devices. The one or more processors may generate a composite multimedia stream based on the video streams and the audio streams received from the participant devices. The one or more processors may broadcast the composite multimedia stream to viewer devices that are separate from the participant devices.

12. A system, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising; initiating a connection to a multimedia conference with a plurality of first endpoint devices, the plurality of first endpoint devices being participants of the multimedia conference; receiving data streams from at least one endpoint device of the plurality of first participant devices through the initiated connection; generating a composite stream based on the received data streams; and providing the composite stream for broadcast to a plurality of second endpoint devices, the plurality of second endpoint devices being non-participants of the multimedia conference, the composite stream being broadcast independent of the initiated connection to the multimedia conference. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory machine-readable medium embodying instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving data streams from at least one device of a plurality of first endpoint devices through a connection to a multimedia conference, the plurality of first endpoint devices being participants of the multimedia conference; combining the received data streams into a composite stream; and providing the composite stream for broadcast to a plurality of second endpoint devices, the plurality of second endpoint devices being non-participants of the multimedia conference, the composite stream being broadcast independent of the connection to the multimedia conference.
