Abstract: Methods and systems for multi-application video conferencing are described herein. A computing device may establish a communications session with a user computing device, then establish a group video call session with a group video call application. The computing device may provide, to the user computing device, video output associated with the group video call session. The computing device may receive, from the user computing device, input (e.g., video, audio, commands). The computing device may convert, based on an identity of the group video call application, the input into a format compatible with the group video call application. The computing device may then provide, to the group video call application, the converted input.

Abstract: A system and method for managing quality issues experienced by users of an online meeting. A disclosed method includes: receiving a report from a first client of a quality issue associated with a second client; obtaining and evaluating performance data from the first client to determine whether the first client is responsible for the quality issue; in response to a determination that the first client is not responsible for the quality issue, requesting an indication from a set of other clients in the online meeting whether the other clients are experiencing the quality issue with the second client; and in response to a determination that the second client is responsible for the quality issue, notifying the second client of the quality issue.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling audio quality of a real-time communication are provided. A system may receive first and second data from a first endpoint device, the first and second data being audible input from a same user, the first data satisfies a threshold indicative of a level of quality in output of audio data by a second endpoint device, and the second data being input for a computing session between the first endpoint device and a plurality of devices including the second endpoint device, compare the first and second data to one another to determine whether the second data satisfies the threshold, responsive to a failure of the second data to meet the threshold, modify the second data, and provide the modified second data to the second endpoint device, wherein the second endpoint device outputs the modified second data at the level of quality.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computing system capable of performing a method that involves receiving, from a first device, a first indication that a peripheral device associated with the first device is available for sharing; sending, to a second device, a second indication that the peripheral device is available for sharing; receiving, from the second device, a request to access the peripheral device; and based at least in part on receipt of the request, causing a peer-to-peer connection to be established between the second device and the first device, the peer-to-peer connection enabling communication between the second device and the peripheral device. The peer-to-peer connection may, for example, enable direction of the peripheral device to the second device so that the peripheral device is a virtual device of the second device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a unified application notification framework are described herein. A server may receive a notification from a service provider. The service provider may be associated with an application executable on a virtual machine. The virtual machine may be part of a virtual environment that includes a user interface. The server may determine an identifier for the received notification. The identifier may indicate the application on the virtual machine associated with the service provider. The server may provide the received notification to the user interface for display to a user. The received notification may be displayed without execution of the application on the virtual machine.

Abstract: Embodiments for clock and/or data recovery may comprise two or more samplers to sample a relatively small number of distinct data sample phase locations of a data pulse relative to an estimate of the location of a center of the data pulse. Signal level values for the sample phase locations may be compared, and sample locations for one or more other data pulses may be adjusted based at least in part on the comparisons.
