Abstract
In one or more embodiments, a meeting organizer develops a list that includes meeting participants and each participant's meeting role. Individual roles can have associated credentials that are utilized to sign into a particular meeting. A single invitation type is sent to all meeting participants irrespective of their role in the meeting. The invitation type includes a single join link for all participants. When a participant joins the meeting, they can be authenticated and authorized against the list that the organizer developed. Based on the participant's role, they are routed to the appropriate client application to consume the meeting.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving input associated with a meeting;
- receiving input associated with meeting participants having different meeting roles;
- receiving a single join link configured to enable meeting participants to join the meeting and be redirected to one of multiple different client applications that enable performance of a participant's role;
- and
- transmitting a meeting invitation, including the input associated with the meeting, the input associated with the meeting participants and the single join link, to the meeting participants to enable each participant to join the meeting by way of the single join link.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- one or more computer readable media;
- computer readable instructions stored on the one or more computer readable media which, when executed by the one or more processors, perform operations comprising:
- receiving a meeting invitation including a single join link configured to enable meeting participants to join a meeting and be redirected to one of multiple different client applications that enable performance of a participant's role;
- receiving selection of the single join link;
- presenting a join prompt to receive participant information;
- receiving participant information using the join prompt;
- transmitting the participant information to a join service to enable the join service to allow a participant to join the meeting;
- and
- receiving a redirection from the join service effective to redirect a participant's computing device to one of multiple different client applications that enable a participant to consume the meeting and perform their role.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- one or more computer readable media;
- computer readable instructions stored on the one or more computer readable media which, when executed by the one or more processors, perform operations comprising:
- receiving, at a join service, participant information associated with participants attempting to join a meeting, the participant information having been transmitted to the join service in connection with a single join link that is configured to enable meeting participants to join a meeting and be redirected to one of multiple client applications that enable performance of a participant's role;
- ascertaining, based on the participant information, a meeting role associated with the participant;
- and
- causing redirection of a participant's computing device to an appropriate client application based on the participant's meeting role.
