receiving audio and visual data elements of said session from a computer participating in the collaborative web browsing session; merging the received audio and visual data elements; storing said merged audio and visual data elements in a presentation file; receiving a selection request for said presentation file; and playing back said presentation file. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 comprising storing the audio and visual data elements separately. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 comprising storing the audio and visual data elements together. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 comprising automatically storing the audio and visual data elements. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 comprising merging the audio and visual data elements as they are received. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 comprising merging the audio and visual data elements after they are fully received. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 comprising storing the audio and visual data elements together. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 comprising dynamically integrating images into the collaborative web browsing session resulting in the visual data elements. ### Claim 9 A computer system, comprising: a session module configured to cause a first computer to control a browser application of at least a second computer, thereby enabling a collaborative web browsing session with at least said second computer; a receiver configured receive audio and visual data elements of said session from a computer participating in the collaborative web browsing session; a merger configured to merge the received audio and visual data elements; an archiver configured to store said received audio and visual data elements in a presentation file; a selection receiver configured to receive a request for said presentation file from a computer; and a transmission module configured to transmit said presentation file to said requesting computer for playback. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the session module is installed on said first computer. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the archiver automatically stores the audio and visual data elements. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the archiver automatically stores the audio and visual data elements together. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein said archiver stores the audio and visual elements separately. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the archiver further comprises a merger configured to merge the audio and visual events into the presentation file. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein said merger merges the audio and visual data elements as they are received. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein said merger merges the audio and visual data elements after they are fully received. ### Claim 17 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the collaborative web browsing session occurs over a data network. ### Claim 18 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the visual data are written to a temporary file. ### Claim 19 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the visual data are sent to attendee clients via said requesting computer. ### Claim 20 A computer readable medium comprising instructions for: causing a first computer to control a browser application of at least a second computer, thereby enabling a collaborative web browsing session with at least said second computer; receiving audio and visual data elements of said session from a computer participating in the collaborative web browsing session; merging the received audio and visual data elements; storing said merged audio and visual data elements in a presentation file; receiving a selection request for said presentation file; and playing back a portion of said presentation file.
