  • Publication number: 20250138908
    Abstract: A plugin is provided to a collaboration service. The plugin permits defining a hierarchical meeting that includes one or more sub meetings. The hierarchical meeting is defined via a graphical user interface of the plugin. Once defined, the hierarchical meeting and sub meetings are provided to the collaboration service as multiple meetings which the collaboration service schedules. The plugin is activated by the collaboration service when a user attempts to modify any of the meetings by selecting a corresponding meeting entry off the user's calendar. Assuming the user has proper access rights, the plugin permits changes by the user, translates the changes into a format recognized by the collaboration service, and provides the formatted changes to the collaboration service for making the changes on the calendar and other calendars associated with other users who are attendees affected by the changes.
