    Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises establishing, by media servers, a video conference for client computing devices, each media server receiving audio data and video data from a local subset of the client computing devices, selecting, by each media server, a portion of the local subset for which to send audio data to other media servers, sending, by each media server, audio data associated with the portion to other media servers, after receiving audio data from other media servers, generating, by each media server, ordered global list data that identifies each client computing device for which the media server has received audio data, based on the global list data and by each media server to other media servers, sending video data for each client computing device of the local subset that satisfies a threshold value.

    Abstract: A computer implemented method comprises transmitting initial signaling data for a video conference from a signaling server to a plurality of client computing devices, the initial signaling data omitting identifiers for media data, establishing, by a media server, the video conference with the plurality of client computing devices, the plurality of client computing devices having used the initial signaling data to connect to the media server, sending, by the media server, media data for a subset of the plurality of client computing devices to the plurality of client computing devices, sending, by the media server, identifiers of the media data to the plurality of client computing devices.

    Abstract: An example data processing technique includes determining, by a first media server during a first media session between a client device and the first media server, a stable bitrate value based on a rate at which the first media server receives data from the client device in the first media session. Further, the example technique includes, based on determining the stable bitrate value, storing in a database the stable bitrate value for the client device, and receiving, from the client device, a request to establish a second media session. The example technique also includes, in response to receiving the request, searching the database for a particular stable bitrate value for the client device, and sending the particular stable bitrate value to the client device, wherein the client device is configured to estimate, based on the particular stable bitrate value, an initial bitrate value for transmitting data from the client device to a second media server in the second media session.

    Abstract: A method for dynamically adapting to increased system load at a selective forwarding unit (SFU) is disclosed. In an embodiment, an SFU sends a plurality of video streams to a plurality of participant computing devices. The SFU monitors a system load value on the SFU according to any of a plurality of metrics. When the SFU determines that the monitored system load value exceeds a stored load threshold value, the SFU selects one or more of the streams being sent to participant computing devices and disables them.
