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 20):
The multipoint control unit of the first type of  claim 15 , wherein the instructions that when executed by the signaling and control module cause the multipoint control unit of the first type to gateway the stream received by the multipoint control unit of the first type from the first endpoint comprise instructions that when executed by the signaling and control module causes the multipoint control unit of the first type to transform the stream received from the first endpoint into a stream for a conference of the second type such that the first endpoint appears to the second multipoint control unit as an endpoint of the second type.
