A system for cooperative application control. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a cloud application engine for executing application code configured to allow interaction with an application, generate a video stream corresponding to a particular user and accept a response stream from the particular user to allow the particular user to interact with the application and (2) a cooperative interaction engine associated with the cloud application engine for communication therewith and configured to multicast the video stream from the cloud application engine to the particular user and at least one other user, combine separate response streams from the particular user and the at least one other user into a joint response stream and provide the joint response stream to the cloud application engine.
