Abstract:
1. A method performed in a network integration node for sharing an ongoing streaming session between a first user and a group of at least one additional user, said method comprising: participating, by the network integration node, in establishment of a one-to-one streaming session between the first user and a content server, wherein the content server streams the one-to-one streaming session via the network integration node to the first user; performing, by the network integration node, a streaming session proxying procedure to track the one-to-one streaming session established between the first user and the content server, receiving, by the network integration node, a request from the first user for sharing the one-to-one streaming session with the group of at least one additional user after the one-to-one streaming session is ongoing between the first user and the content server, performing, by the network integration node, a conference establishment procedure to a conference node handling the group of at least one additional user for binding the network integration node to the conference node as a party of a conference by establishing a connection to the conference node, wherein the second performing step is initiated upon sending signalling to the conference node to trigger a conference invitation procedure for inviting the group of the at least one additional user, and performing, by the network integration node, a replication procedure for triggering a replication of the one-to-one streaming session by sending a copy of data packets received from the content server over the connection to the conference node, whereby the conference node upon receiving the data packets distributes the data packets to the group of at least one additional user.
