Abstract: Techniques are presented to enable a meeting participant/attendee at an endpoint device in an online/web-based meeting/conference to navigate content of a presentation made by a presenter without disrupting the flow of the presentation made by the presenter. At the endpoint of a meeting attendee, data is stored representing content as it is being presented by a presenter at a presenter endpoint device. A command is received from an attendee at the attendee endpoint device to display previously presented content of the presentation. The attendee endpoint device retrieves data for the previously presented content from the stored data. During the presentation (but without disrupting the presenter's presentation of the content), the attendee endpoint device displays the previously presented content from the retrieved data.
