Abstract:
An apparatus and/or method discloses an automatic call-to-conference elevation (“ACE”) capable of facilitating a transition from a phone call to a video conference. An ACE process, in one embodiment, is able to activate an ACE application to elevate user devices from participating in an audio call to a video conference based on a conference selection selected by a meeting initiator, host, or attendee. After identifying the capabilities, attributes, and/or functionalities associated with the user devices in accordance with activation of ACE, a communication network coupling the user devices as meeting attendees is established for facilitating the video conference based on identified capabilities, attributes, and/or functionalities of the user devices. In one aspect, the process is capable of transitioning connections of the user devices from an audio call to a video conference.
