ABSTRACT:
A method and system for providing subgroup conversation during a teleconference enables side conversations during a virtual meeting. A passcode is used by parties to join the subgroup conversation, so that privacy of the subgroup is maintained. Alternatively, an administrator may set up subgroups and either join or invite members, who may toggle between the main teleconference and a subgroup teleconference using a standardized user input. The system may be implemented in any telephone network and across telephone networks such as public switched telephone networks (PSTNs), wireless networks, voice over Internet protocol networks and/or private branch exchanges (PBXs).
