1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- monitoring an audio video communication session effectuated with a device, wherein the audio video communication session includes an audio channel and a video channel;
determining that the device is capable of effectuating a telephone call on a public switched telephone network;
determining a performance characteristic for the audio channel;
comparing the performance characteristic to a defined audio performance threshold; and
based on the comparison, transferring the audio channel of the audio video communication session to the public switched telephone network if the performance characteristic does not meet the defined audio performance threshold, wherein transferring the audio channel comprises initiating a voice call with a telephone number associated with the device via the public switched telephone network.

Abstract
A method and computing system for monitoring an AV synchronous communication session of a user. The AV synchronous communication session includes an audio channel and a video channel. A performance characteristic is determined for the audio channel. The performance characteristic is compared to a defined audio performance threshold. If the performance characteristic does not meet the defined audio performance threshold, the video channel is adjusted to reduce the bandwidth requirements of the video channel.

8. A system comprising a network interface and a non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions that when operated upon by a machine cause the machine to:
-
monitor an audio video communication session effectuated with a device via the network interface, wherein the audio video communication session includes an audio channel and a video channel; determine that the device is capable of completing a telephone call on a public switched telephone network; determine a performance characteristic for the audio channel, wherein the performance characteristic comprises one or more of;
packet loss, jitter, or latency;compare the performance characteristic to a defined audio performance threshold; and based on the comparison, transfer the audio channel of the audio video communication session to the public switched telephone network if the performance characteristic does not meet the defined audio performance threshold, wherein transferring the audio channel comprises initiating a voice call with a telephone number associated with the device via the public switched telephone network. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program that is executable by at least one processor, the computer program including instructions that cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
-
monitor an audio video communication session provided by a device, wherein the audio video communication session includes an audio channel and a video channel; determine that the device is capable of making a telephone call on a public switched telephone network; determine a performance characteristic for the audio channel; compare the performance characteristic to a defined audio performance threshold; and based on the comparison, transfer the audio channel of the audio video communication session to the public switched telephone network if the performance characteristic does not meet the defined audio performance threshold, wherein transferring the audio channel comprises initiating a voice call with a telephone number associated with the device via the public switched telephone network. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
