Ooooooo interesting, Drago! 

So, using Get-CsWindowsService with the appropriate services, you should be able to see the connected users and active conferences.

The trick is you'd need to run this for each individual computer in your pool, if you have a three server front end pool, you might want to script it to tally it up for you, if you have one server then you just run the commands as is:

#Get total number of active Web Conferences
Get-CsWindowsService -Name RTCDATAMCU -ComputerName YOURFRONTENDSERVER

#Get total number of active screen sharing conferences 
# watch for (connected users)
Get-CsWindowsService -Name RTCASMCU -ComputerName YOURFRONTENDSERVER

#Get total number of Audio\Video conferences
# watch for (connected users)
Get-CsWindowsService -Name RTCAVMCU -ComputerName YOURFRONTENDSERVER

Yup, with one caveat. If a conference has ended (that is, we said "Bye, talk to you next week" but not all participants have closed the conference window, such connections will be counted as "Active" although the user already drives home.

Best practice (from UA stand point) is to always educate the users to "End conference" when the conference really ended. This way no "fake" connections will be shown. How many times you steered at the monitor waiting to the sucker to drain to install updates? You know what I mean... :-)

It would be a great help...!!!!!!!

This can be done with custom queries against the Monitoring database. I doubt you will find anything published on Internet.
