Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for launching a collaborative application. The systems and methods include starting a virtual meeting, within a video conferencing solution, between at least a first user and a second user, monitoring for an attempt to share content through a graphical user interface for the virtual meeting, and determining that the first user is attempting to show the shared content to the second user through a collaboration platform that is separate from the video conferencing solution. The systems and methods also include identifying a native application associated with the collaboration platform and integrated with the video conferencing solution, notifying the first user that the native application is available for collaboration within the virtual meeting, and launching the native application within the virtual meeting.
