Abstract:
An apparatus and method provides for transmitting previews of media objects that are shared in a group communication, such as a push-to-talk or push-to-share communication session. Media objects can be stored at a media server and/or an originating communicating device. A plurality of previews for the media object can be selected and/or generated by the originating device and transmitted during a PTT session. The previews can contain metadata, and the previews and metadata can be used by recipients at target mobile devices to determine whether the user wants to download the media object. Different previews for the media object may be selected for different target mobile devices.
