US 2025/0053933 A1 · ASYNCHRONOUS MEETING PARTICIPATION

Abstract

The present disclosure describes an asynchronous meeting system that provides a framework for users to participate asynchronously in virtual meetings. The asynchronous meeting system enables seamless interaction between multiple applications, allowing participants to engage before, during, and after meetings. Additionally, the asynchronous meeting system offers various features and tools for users to communicate their intention of being an asynchronous meeting participant (e.g., a non-attending meeting participant) to the meeting organizer and other attendees. Furthermore, the asynchronous meeting system provides asynchronous participants access to the meeting and its resources, including agendas, notes, in-meeting communications, recordings, and summaries.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method for implementing asynchronous user participation across multiple computer applications, comprising:

determining to provide an async participant option within a calendar event invite for a virtual meeting received by a client device associated with a user;
in response to detecting a selection of the async participant option:
providing a reply to the calendar event invite indicating the user as an async participant of the virtual meeting;
and
modifying a calendar event for the user displayed on the client device to indicate async participation in the virtual meeting, wherein the calendar event has different visual properties from other calendar events of the user;
and
after the virtual meeting occurs, notifying the client device when meeting resources created from the virtual meeting have been added to the calendar event displayed on the client device.

A system for implementing asynchronous user participation across multiple computer applications, comprising:

a processing system comprising a processor;
and
a computer memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
determining to provide an async participant option within a calendar event invite based on receiving the calendar event invite for a virtual meeting at a client device associated with a user within a first application;
in response to detecting a selection of the async participant option within the first application:
providing a reply to the calendar event invite indicating the user as an async participant of the virtual meeting;
and
modifying a calendar event within the first application for the user displayed on the client device to indicate async participation in the virtual meeting, wherein the calendar event has different visual properties from other calendar events of the user;
and
after the virtual meeting occurs in a second application, notifying the client device when meeting resources created from the virtual meeting have been added to the calendar event displayed on the client device.
