A collaboration network is defined by creating a virtual meeting room on a central server. The central server negotiates with one or more edge servers for remote management of selected collaboration parameters, which control such things as shared objects, group connections, streaming video, and video on-demand. Using the selected collaboration parameters, the edge servers manage the meeting participation of the network clients connected to the virtual meeting room through the individual edge servers. When management of the meeting participation requires either parameters that the edge server does not have or when the parameters of the edge server are out of date, the management responsibility is transferred to the central server for that request.
