A system and method for automatically data streaming a multiparty
conference. The system allows a session moderator or other guests to
request data streaming of the multiparty. The data-stream-initiation
request is received from an Internet-based interface. Upon receiving the
request, the conferencing system automatically establishes data streams
of audio and visual data of the conference and transmits the data stream
to call participants. The conferencing system is also configured to
record the conference call and transcode the call for subsequent
playback.
