Abstract:
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for enabling a computing device that is separate from both a source device and a target wireless device to facilitate a method of controlling a media session that includes audio and video portions of data, the method comprising: receiving from at least one wireless endpoint by way of a wireless communications network a communications stream that includes packets of data that include audio information and video information; receiving a trigger to cease communicating the video information of the communications stream to a first target device; and incident to receiving the trigger, preventing the video information from being communicated to the first target device by filtering the video information at the computing device separate from both the target device and the at least one wireless endpoint such that the communications stream includes only the audio information, wherein the computing device receives the trigger while the computing device is communicating both the audio information and the video information to the first target device and the computing device continues to receive the communications stream including both the audio information and the video information from the at least one wireless endpoint and filter the communications stream consistent with the trigger, and wherein the computing device separate from both the target device and the at least one wireless endpoint communicates both the audio and video information to a second target device while simultaneously filtering the video information from the communications stream to the first target device.
