Controlling disclosure of identities in communication sessions

A system for disseminating anonymous feedback regarding a communication session comprising:

• one or more processing units;
• and
• a computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions encoded thereon to cause the one or more processing units to:
• send conference content to a first computing device and a second computing device, wherein the first computing device and the second computing device are both participating in the communication session;
• receive, via a first user interface of the first computing device, a content item comprising content expressing a sentiment, an indication of one or more recipients who are also participants in the communication session, and an indication that the content item is anonymous, wherein the first computing device is associated with a sender;
• receive an indication of a threshold number of the recipients required to indicate agreement with the sentiment of the content before triggering an action;
• control display, via a second user interface of the second computing device, of the content such that the indication of the sender is omitted, wherein the second computing device is associated with at least one of the one or more recipients and the user interface of the second computing device simultaneously displays the content and the conference content;
• receive an indication of agreement with the sentiment of the content item from at least the threshold number of the recipients;
• and
• trigger the action.

A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions encoded thereon to cause a computing device to:

• receive, via an input region of a user interface of a first computing device associated with a sender a content item comprising content expressing a sentiment, an indication of recipients, and an indication that the content item is anonymous, wherein the user interface of the first computing device displays conference content simultaneously with the input region;
• receive an indication of a threshold number of the recipients required to indicate agreement with the sentiment of the content before triggering an action;
• control display of an indication of the sender in a user interface of a second computing device associated with a first one of the recipients such that the indication of the sender is not included in the user interface;
• cause presentation, via a content item display region of the user interface of the second computing device associated with the first one of the recipients, of the content and the conference content;
• receive an indication of agreement with a sentiment of the content item from at least the threshold number of the recipients;
• and
• trigger the action.
