Facilitating a distributed multipoint conference using, for example, the ITU-T H.323 protocol may involve establishing a connection (e.g., that supports a unicast stream) between multiple endpoints, including at least a requesting endpoint and one or more other participating endpoints, and initiating a connection from the requesting endpoint to at least a third endpoint. The requesting endpoint identifies to the third endpoint the one or more other participating endpoints. A connection is established between the third endpoint and the one or more other participating endpoints identified by the requesting endpoint. The third endpoint identifies the requesting endpoint to the one or more other participating endpoints. At each of the endpoints, unicast streams received from each of the other participating endpoints may be mixed to form a logical multipoint conference.
