Patent covering a video-conferencing workflow that lets a host share a “content object” (e.g., a document, presentation, or other interactive artifact) in a way that participants can open and interact with directly inside the meeting—rather than just watching a screen-share video. The system runs the relevant app within the conferencing client’s embedded execution environment, distributes the content (or a URL) to other participants, optionally fetches/launches the required app for them on… Show more

Patent covering a video-conferencing workflow that lets a host share a “content object” (e.g., a document, presentation, or other interactive artifact) in a way that participants can open and interact with directly inside the meeting—rather than just watching a screen-share video. The system runs the relevant app within the conferencing client’s embedded execution environment, distributes the content (or a URL) to other participants, optionally fetches/launches the required app for them on demand, and enforces per-participant access levels (read/comment/edit/owner) that can be bounded to the meeting session and revoked when sharing ends—enabling seamless, secure, real-time collaboration during a call.

Techniques for providing administrator-authorized applications are provided. In an example method, a computing device accesses a first application configuration for a first application. The computing device receives a first request to access a resource by the first application on behalf of one or more users and requests, from an authorization provider, authorization to access the resource by the first application on behalf of the one or more users. The computing device receives the authorization and updates the first application configuration with information about the authorization. The computing device receives a first indication from a first client device associated with a first user to add the first application to the first client device and determines a user authorization for the first user to access the resource using the first application based on the information about the authorization. The computing device provides access to the resource based on the user authorization. Show less
