Multifunction collaboration within an electronic meeting

One or more non-transitory computer readable media providing an improvement in electronic meetings conducted over computer networks, the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions, which when processed by one or more processors, cause:

• maintaining a set of records of computing devices that are capable of participating in an electronic meeting, wherein the set of records include feature capability, for each of the computing devices, for an ability to receive and control types of content contained in a meeting window within the electronic meeting;
• maintaining access permissions for a plurality of meeting windows within a particular electronic meeting, wherein the access permissions for the plurality of meeting windows include access permission roles assigned to one or more computing devices participating in the particular electronic meeting;
• receiving, via one or more computer networks, from a first computing device of the one or more computing devices in the particular electronic meeting, a request for a first level role that includes privileges to control first content contained in a first meeting window, from the plurality of meeting windows, of the particular electronic meeting and a second level role that includes privilege to view, but not control, second content contained in a second meeting window, from the plurality of meeting windows, wherein the second meeting window is displayed concurrently with the first meeting window and the second meeting content is different than the first meeting content;
• determining the first computing device has, for the first meeting window, from the plurality of meeting windows, a first level role that includes privileges to control the first content contained in the first meeting window, from the plurality of meeting windows, of the electronic meeting;
• determining the first computing device has, for the second meeting window, from the plurality of meeting windows, a second level role that includes privileges to view, but not control, the second content contained in the second meeting window, from the plurality of meeting windows, of the electronic meeting;
• enabling privileges, based upon the set of records of computing devices that include feature capability, for each of the computing devices, for an ability to receive and control types of content contained in a meeting window within the electronic meeting and the access permissions for the plurality of meeting windows within the particular electronic meeting that include access permission roles assigned to one or more computing devices participating in the particular electronic meeting, to allow the first computing device to control the first content contained in the first meeting window and to view, but not control, the second content contained in the second meeting window.

A method providing an improvement in electronic meetings conducted over computer networks, the method comprising:

• receiving, via one or more computer networks, from a first computing device of the one or more computing devices in the particular electronic meeting, a request for a first level role that includes privileges to control first content contained in a first meeting window, from the plurality of meeting windows, of the particular electronic meeting and a second level role that includes privilege to view, but not control, second content contained in a second meeting window, from the plurality of meeting windows, wherein the second meeting window is displayed concurrently with the first meeting window and the second meeting content is different than the first meeting content;
• determining the first computing device has, for the first meeting window, from the plurality of meeting windows, a first level role that includes privileges to control the first content contained in the first meeting window, from the plurality of meeting windows, of the electronic meeting;
• determining the first computing device has, for the second meeting window, from the plurality of meeting windows, a second level role that includes privileges to view, but not control, the second content contained in the second meeting window, from the plurality of meeting windows, of the electronic meeting;
• enabling privileges, based upon the set of records of computing devices that include feature capability, for each of the computing devices, for an ability to receive and control types of content contained in a meeting window within the electronic meeting and the access permissions for the plurality of meeting windows within the particular electronic meeting that include access permission roles assigned to one or more computing devices participating in the particular electronic meeting, to allow the first computing device to control the first content contained in the first meeting window and to view, but not control, the second content contained in the second meeting window.
