System and method for synchronizing notary meeting interactions between multiple software clients

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which when executed by a processor result in one or more operations, the operations comprising:

• allowing a signer to join, via a graphical user interface associated with a first software client, a remote notary meeting;
• permitting a remote notary agent to control the remote notary meeting using a second software client, wherein permitting the remote notary agent to control the remote notary meeting includes controlling a presentation of signing documents to the signer and wherein a signer's display of a document is synchronized with the remote notary agent's display of the document, wherein permitting a remote notary agent to control the remote notary meeting includes providing the remote notary agent with an option to assume control of a display of the document and in response to receiving an indication that the remote notary agent has selected a thumbnail image, causing the signer's display of the document to scroll to a location on the graphical user interface associated with the first software client that corresponds with the location in the document selected by the remote notary agent for the thumbnail image;
• synchronizing one or more behaviors associated with the first software client and the second software client using an application programming interface (API);
• causing to display a first annotation tools menu at the graphical user interface associated with the first software client, wherein the first annotation tools menu is configured to enable an annotation of the document in a signer selectable location;
• and
• causing to display a second annotation tools menu at a graphical user interface associated with the second software client, wherein the first annotation tools menu and the second annotation tools menu are different, wherein the second annotation tools menu is configured to enable an annotation of the document in a remote notary agent selectable location.
