SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INITIATING PEER-TO-PEER TELECONFERENCING

Abstract: a computing device of a user that has been invited to participate in a scheduled teleconferencing session may obtain information associated with the teleconferencing session, such as a meeting identifier and/or one or more user identifiers associated with other invitees of the teleconferencing session. the computing device may determine that a cloud-based teleconferencing service associated with the teleconferencing session is unavailable. in response to determining that the cloud-based teleconferencing service is unavailable, the computing device may retrieve internet protocol (ip) addresses of other computing devices (corresponding to other invitees) from a domain name service (dns) based on the meeting identifier and/or the one or more user identifiers. the computing device may then initiate peer-to-peer connections with the other computing devices using the received ip addresses and participate in the teleconferencing session via the peer-to-peer connections.
