An apparatus may comprise a communication client operative on caller and callee client devices. The communication client may comprise a user interface component to allow users of the device to initiate and take part in one-to-one and multiway calls; a network component operative to handle network communications between messaging servers and other client devices; a peer-to-peer media call component operative to perform peer-to-peer one-on-one media calls between client devices; a multiway media call component operative to join a multiway call at a multiway media relay system; and a media call management component operative to initiate the peer-to-peer media call, to detect a multiway media call escalation event and to transition the peer-to-peer media call to a multiway call session. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
