The invention discloses a multi-media conference control method and system, and apparatuses. According to the method, a plurality of MCUs (multipoint control unit) in a distributed deployment mode are involved; and on the basis of conference information interaction among MCUs, cooperative control of multi-media conferences is realized. Therefore, the plurality of MCUs form an organic integrated body, thereby improving the using efficiency of all MCUs. Moreover, loads of all MCUs are reduced, thereby improving the conference service quality.
