Abstract: Disclosed is a system and associated methods for secure media stream distribution across different platforms associated with different Internet domains. A first node of a first platform receives a first request from a device, performs a first verification based on credentials provided by the device matching stored credentials, generates a first signed token, and provides the first signed token with a second link for the device to access the requested media stream from a second network node of a second platform. The second network node determines that the device was verified at the first network node based on a second stream request from the device including the first signed token, generates a second token that uniquely identifies the device in the second domain, and streams requested stream data to the device in response to performing a second verification based on requests for the stream data including the second token.

Abstract: A telecommunication device, apparatus, and a computer-implemented method of performing a real-time collaboration session with a plurality of participants can be configured so that a method can be performed. The method can include starting a chat application (e.g. a group chat application) for the participants of the real-time collaboration session; automatically creating, upon a first event being external or internal to the chat application, creating a collaborative chat post object (CCPO), for the session, authorizing the participants to edit the chat conversation content of the CCPO; and automatically sealing permanently the CCPO upon a second event being external or internal event to the chat application. For sealing the CCPO, the editable content of the CCPO can be converted into read-only content.

Abstract: A temporal sequence of pictures is generated in a method for encoding of a first video stream. To do so, a synchronization signal can be used, which can be derived from a second video stream independently of the first video stream. Alternatively, the encoding of a second video stream independent of the first video stream can be based on the same principle as for the encoding of the first video stream.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for adjusting content shared during communication sessions, comprising: obtaining, through a first device, a content to share, determining a primary portion of the content to share, adjusting the content to share based on the primary portion to generate a first adjusted content to share and causing the first adjusted content to share to be displayed on a second device.
