Abstract: In various implementations, a computing device is configured to provide context to annotating inputs made during a web meeting session. In some implementations, a plurality of annotating inputs is received by a participant of a web meeting session. Each of the annotating inputs is processed to associate with a unique descriptor that corresponds to one or more of the participant, a web meeting session, a recording of at least a portion of the web meeting session, and a submitted time of the annotating input. Each annotating input is stored to generate an interaction record for referencing each annotating input to a web meeting session and, in some instances, a corresponding recorded portion of the web meeting session. In this regard, annotating inputs can be used to retrieve additional content (i.e., a portion of the recording) that is relevant to the annotating input and employed to provide additional context thereto.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and apparatus for sharing the contents of a presentation in a web conference through automated identification of documents for selective sharing with web conferences comprises launching a web conference in which an application or an entire desktop view of a conference presenter is caused to be rendered as content viewable on the displays of all conference participants. The method detects that one or more documents are being accessed by application(s) executed concurrently with the desktop sharing application and identifies documents having a supported format as including viewable content available for rendering to the display of the presenter. Automatically, or after presenter confirmation, the content is uploaded to a web server and converted into a format that can be distributed to and cached at the respective participant computers.

Abstract: Reports may be generated by a web conferencing host from the data collected by a web analytics application by fetching reporting data from the web analytics application server and then augmenting them on a need basis at the web conferencing host server. Relevant graphs are then constructed and provided as reports to the client. For the reports, an organizer at a client machine requests the web conferencing host server to fetch the data. The web conferencing host server may query the web analytics server for the required report data, and then augment the data from the web conferencing host's own database to make the report richer, in terms of improved visualization, or improved data.
