Windows Conferencing API
The purpose of the high-level Conferencing Application Program Interface is to enable productivity applications to take advantage of
existing conferencing features while requiring minimal development effort.
The functions enabled by these APIs can be grouped into three areas:
It is not intended that these APIs be used to streamline development
of truly distributed conferencing applications.
The Multipoint Communication Services (MCS) and Generic Call Control (GCC)
APIs are available to applications for this purpose.
The MCS and GCC APIs are beyond the scope of this document.
It should be noted that almost all of the APIs are synchronous.
In general, the function call will not return until the
specified action is complete.
If the application requires the process to not lose control for an extended
period of time, it should start a separate thread to handle the task.
