Abstract: A network collaboration system facilitates collaborations between network clients having access to a digital network. The system uses audio mixes to provide different levels of voice conferences between the meeting participants. In a main collaboration, those participating in the main collaboration receive an audio output that includes audio inputs from the other participants. A subset group of clients may also have a voice chat, in which their audio inputs are removed from the outputs delivered to the clients not participating in the voice chat. Meanwhile, the participants in the voice chat hear each other at full volume, but hear the collaborators who are not part of the voice chat at a reduced volume.

Abstract: A network collaboration system facilitates collaborations between network clients having access to a digital network. The system uses audio mixes to provide different levels of voice conferences between the meeting participants. When a virtual meeting space is created, each meeting participant is given certain access privileges. In a main collaboration, those participating in the main collaboration receive an audio output that includes audio inputs from the other participants. A separate group of participants may be sequestered in a waiting room, unable to receive audio inputs from participants in the main collaboration. Certain participants in the main collaboration have the ability to grant access to the waiting room participants to join the main meeting, depending on the access privileges of the participant granting access. Main collaboration participants may also exit the main collaboration and enter the waiting room.
