  • Publication number: 20240106861
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to identity-based DNS-traffic routing and monitoring. A computing platform may establish, using an encrypted DNS process, a secure DNS session by executing an encrypted session handshake with a client device, which may include receiving a security certificate for the encrypted DNS process that identifies a user of the client device. The computing platform may receive an encrypted DNS query request comprising a request for an IP address for a specified domain name. The computing platform may determine, based on the security certificate, an identity of the user. The computing platform may determine, based on the identity of the user, a security policy indicating domain matching criteria and corresponding actions to take on matching domain names. The computing platform may determine a first action corresponding to the domain name, and may send, based on the first action, an encrypted DNS query response.

  • Publication number: 20230319001
    Abstract: Snippets of content associated with a communication platform are described. In an example, based at least in part on a determination, by the communication platform, that a user of the communication platform is permitted to access one or more snippets of content provided by one or more other users of the communication platform, causing one or more user interface elements associated with the one or more snippets of content to be presented via a user interface of a user computing device of the user. The communication platform can receive, from the user computing device, a request to view a snippet of content of the one or more snippets of content and can cause the snippet of content to be presented by the user computing device via the user interface associated with the communication platform.

  • Publication number: 20230244857
    Abstract: Techniques for providing an interactable meeting transcript associated with a meeting via a virtual space of a communication platform are described herein. In at least one example, a user requests to conduct an audio or video meeting associated with a virtual space of the communication platform. The communication platform receives data representative of the meeting, generates a meeting transcript associated with the meeting based on the data, and causes presentation of the meeting transcript via the virtual space. In at least one example, the communication platform receives, from a user of the virtual space, an indication of a selection of a section of the meeting transcript, and causes an input interface to be presented, enabling the user of the virtual space to comment on the section of the meeting transcript. In response to receiving the comment, the communication platform updates a file associated with the meeting to include the comment.

  • Patent number: 11700223
    Abstract: Asynchronous collaboration via a communication platform is described. A message representative of an asynchronous meeting can be displayed via a user interface of a communication platform. The user interface can include an affordance to enable a user to add a snippet of content to the asynchronous meeting. In response to detecting an actuation of the affordance, an input user interface that includes an option to record or upload the snippet of content can be displayed. The snippet of content can be received from a client of a user associated with the asynchronous meeting and can be associated with other snippet(s) of content added by other user(s) associated with the asynchronous meeting. A preview summary of snippet(s) of content associated with the asynchronous meeting can be displayed in association with the message, wherein each snippet of content is viewable via a thread associated with the message.
