Abstract:
A device implementing a system for multiway audio-video conferencing includes a processor configured to receive, from a first device, indication of a first channel and a second channel for communicating content for an audio-video conference session. The first channel and the second channel correspond to different types of communication interfaces. The processor is further configured to receive, from the first device, a first request to subscribe to a first content stream for the audio-video conference session via the first channel, and to subscribe to a second content stream for the audio-video conference session via the second channel, and in response to receiving the first request, forward, to the first device, the first content stream via the first channel.
