Device-based ad hoc conferencing

An ad hoc conferencing system and methods are provided. Information is stored to associate a particular meeting link with an endpoint device. A first request to initiate a communication session is received from the endpoint device, wherein the first request is generated by a local participant interacting with the endpoint device. A second request to join the communication session is received from a remote device, wherein the second request is transmitted in response to a remote participant inputting, on the remote device, the particular meeting link. The communication session is established between the endpoint device and the remote device based on receiving the first request and receiving the second request.
