ABSTRACT:
A multi-point video conferencing system and method for managing display of images of multiple participating locations and bandwidth allocated for a multi-point video conference. The multi-point video conferencing system detects an audio signal associated with an image not currently displayed to each participating location in the multi-point video conference. When the number of active display windows is less than the maximum number of active display windows, a first active display window is activated and the image displayed in the first active display window. When the number of the active display windows is not less than the maximum number, a second active display window of the active display windows is inactivated, a third active display window is activated, and the image is displayed in the third active display window.
