Abstract: Data privacy in screen sharing during Web conferencing includes selecting a third-party application executing in contemporaneously with a conferencing application. Screen sharing is activated during a Web conference in the conferencing application so as to share a display screen of the third-party application with different attendee computers over a computer communications network. An interface to the application is then queried with the attendees in order to receive access control data for the attendees. Then, a protected data field is identified in the display screen and determined whether one of the attendee computers is associated with one of several access control rules based upon the access control data that prohibits display of content in the protected data field. The data field is masked in the shared display screen for the one of the attendee computers while displaying remaining portions of the shared display screen in the one of the attendee computers.

Abstract: A method for rules driven interactions for Webinar content retrieval and storage includes establishing a Webinar between a presenter and a live attendee, sharing a display of the presenter with the live attendee, detecting in the display a content portion and matching the content portion to one of a multiplicity of rules. Thereafter, the matched one of the rules is executed so as to present additional content in a user interface of the live attendee and the matched one of the rules is stored in a recording of the Webinar, with an indication at which point in time during the Webinar the matched one of the rules had been executed. Finally, the stored recording is retrieved and played back to an offline attendee through a user interface to the Webinar and the matched one of the rules is executed so as to present additional content to the offline attendee.
