Abstract:
A non-Skype multipoint control unit (MCU) is configured to operate differently for handling incoming streams from endpoints and outgoing streams from a Skype multipoint control unit. When passing incoming streams from non-Skype endpoints to a Skype conference, the non-Skype MCU acts as a gateway, passing the streams to Skype MCU as if they were coming from Skype endpoints. When receiving outgoing streams from Skype MCU, the non-Skype MCU acts as an MCU, transcoding, compositing, and scaling streams into continuous presence layouts for delivery to the non-Skype endpoints. Thus, non-Skype endpoints can participate in Skype conferences as if they were Skype endpoints, allowing a better user experience for both Skype endpoints and non-Skype endpoints.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein processing the plurality of conference streams comprises:\n transcoding and scaling the plurality of conference streams received by the first multipoint control unit from the second multipoint control unit for delivery to the first endpoint; and compositing the transcoded and scaled plurality of conference streams received by the first multipoint control unit from the second multipoint control unit into a composite continuous presence stream according to a continuous presence layout corresponding to the first endpoint.
