1. A communication system, comprising:
- a microprocessor; and
a computer readable medium, coupled with the microprocessor and comprising microprocessor readable and executable instructions that program the microprocessor to;
receive, during a selected time period, a plurality of different media streams exchanged, over a communications network, in one or more communications between a plurality of parties;
generate a multimedia presentation of the plurality of different media streams, wherein the multimedia presentation comprises a plurality of display segments associated with a plurality of;
(i) sequential video images from the plurality of different media streams, (ii) at least one audio or video stream from the plurality of different media streams, (iii) one or more text messages from the plurality of different media streams, (iv) any other temporal data stream, and (v) at least one information accessed or created by one of the plurality of parties, the information not being included in the plurality of different media streams and wherein, in the multimedia presentation, different media streams are referenced according to a common time scale;
generate for display, the multimedia presentation to a requestor, wherein the plurality of different media streams are associated with a multimedia session between the plurality of parties, wherein an event association module determines that at least one communication transmitted, by one of the plurality of parties using a first communication device, during the multimedia session, is related to the multimedia session, wherein the at least one communication is not transmitted as part of the multimedia session, wherein the one of the plurality of parties is participating in the multimedia presentation using a second communication device and associates, in the multimedia presentation, a recorded version of the at least one communication with the one or more media streams, and wherein the at least one communication is between the at least one of the plurality of parties and a nonparticipant;
during the multimedia session, determine an electronic address of the first communication device of the one of the plurality of parties; and
track, during the multimedia session, using the electronic address of the first communication device of the one of the multiple participants, a plurality of communications that are separate from the multimedia presentation and sent and received by the first communication device using the electronic address, wherein the at least one communication is one of the plurality of communications that are separate from the conference session.
