  • Publication number: 20240134498
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed that enable a computing system to present a structured arrangement for tracking content items on a shared user interface (UI) during a communication session. The structured arrangement is a list that is displayed in a specific region of the shared UI. Inclusion of content items in the list makes it easier for users to locate and interact with those content items throughout the communication session. The ability to create and manipulate the list may be limited to only certain users such as a moderator. Use of this list can promote inclusivity and fairness. For instance, inclusion in the list may prevent content items from being forgotten or ignored. Additionally, the names of users who contributed the content items may be shown in the list thereby providing recognition for those users.

  • Patent number: 11847250
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for a computing system that allows users to control the disclosure of their identities during communication sessions. Users can control the disclosure of their identities with respect to certain types of shared content. In one mode of operation, a user can share content anonymously. In another mode of operation, identity may be revealed when certain conditions are met or revealed to only certain other users. For example, the identity of a user who shared a comment anonymously may be revealed if multiple other users agree with that comment. In another mode of operation, the user's identity is revealed to all other users such as in a live video stream. The computing system can control display of users' identities based on user instructions or based on triggering conditions. A user interface (UI) can show content items that identify a user together with content items that are shared anonymously.

  • Publication number: 20210117929
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed that enable a computing system to adapt an agenda for a communication session so the agenda more accurately reflects the actual course of discussion during the communication session. A graphical user interface is configured to display aspects of the agenda so that participants of the communication session are aware of topics being discussed or to be discussed, as well as the time initially assigned to discuss the topics. The agenda can adapt depending on the course of discussion during the communication session. That is, agenda items can be removed, reordered, added, extended, shortened, etc. based on an analysis of actual topics being discussed during the communication session and the timing of such discussions. The agenda can additionally or alternatively encourage participation and inclusivity. For instance, the agenda can inform participants of behavior-related goals associated with participation and inclusivity.
