摘要： A conferencing system provides the scheduling of virtual meetings with meeting lobbies so that a meeting presenter can conduct a virtual meeting without the need to send out invitations to attendees. A person that wants to conduct a virtual meeting can schedule with the conferencing system a meeting with a meeting lobby. The meeting lobby has an address, but there is no associated privileged information, such as a meeting password. Would-be meeting attendees use the meeting lobby address to enter the meeting lobby as visitors in the lobby, and request to enter the meeting from the meeting lobby. A meeting presenter can then either grant authorization for a visitor in the meeting lobby to enter the meeting, or deny authorization for a visitor in the meeting lobby to enter the meeting. If a visitor in the meeting lobby is denied authorization to enter the meeting from the meeting lobby, the conferencing system removes the visitor from the meeting lobby.

摘要： An approach for providing enhanced application behavior in the presence of application sharing is provided. An application program interface (“API”) allows an application being shared in a collaborative environment to be aware of its application sharing status. An application developer can incorporate the API into an application program. Then, when an instance of the application is executing, an application sharing host can use the API to notify the instance of the application whenever the instance of the application is being shared. In addition, the application sharing host can also use the API to provide the instance of the application being shared the identity of a user that is in control of the instance of the application being shared.

摘要： Architecture for providing communications resources of a network for client intercommunications. A client that desires to communicate makes a request to an arbitrary communications server node by the announcing of identifying information. The web service “parks” the request until the identifying information is ready. A second client can ultimately interact with the first client by sending identifying information and following the same lookup path to find the location at which the first client request is “parked”. A continuous hash is employed that enables a client to negotiate services of a resource and via which resource multiple clients can rendezvous for communications. The continuous hash minimizes the disruption to clients already accessing network resources. A resource is brought online or taken offline without dramatically impacting ongoing use of currently operational resources. In the event a hosting resource fails, the clients repeat the lookup process and re-converge on a new server.

摘要： Architecture that allows users in an application sharing environment to separately view portions of data that are not part of the current shared view. An enhanced application sharing component is provided that facilitates rendering the application data multiple times for a correspondingly similar number of simultaneous users, and sending the additional renderings to the other users for interaction. Each user client includes an application sharing viewer that composites the per-user renderings onto the base shared image of the user client to create a per-user view of the shared document. The enhanced sharing component renders the portion of the data that is requested by the remote user as a bitmap and passes the bitmap along with coordinate information to the client rendering program presentation with the shared data view. The coordinate information indicates where on the shared screen of the remote client the bitmap is overlayed to produce a seamless experience.
