  • Patent number: 10841348
    Abstract: Organizing a synchronous communication session can include determining, using a processor of a data processing system, a context responsive to detecting a trigger event. The context specifies a foreground application executing within the data processing system. Candidate participants can be determined from the context. A user interface is displayed separate from the foreground application. The user interface lists the candidate participants. Further, responsive to a user input received within the user interface, an invite to the candidate participants is sent. The invite specifies access information for the synchronous communication session.
    Type: Grant
