Controlling presentations in video conferences

A method comprising:

• displaying, by a video conference application executing on a first client device, a first content in a first application, the first application comprising a slide presentation application or a video application, as part of a visual display of a video conference on the first client device;
• receiving, by the video conference application executing on the first client device from the video conference application executing on a second client device, a first command from a first user of a plurality of users authorized to control the first application;
• displaying, by the video conference application executing on the first client, a second content in the first application in response to the first command;
• receiving, by the video conference application executing on the first client device from the video conference application executing on a third client device, a second command from a second user of the plurality of users authorized to control the first application;
• and
• displaying, by the video conference application executing on the first client, a third content in the first application in response to the second command.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions configured to cause one or more processors to:

• display, by a video conference application executing on a first client device, a first content in a first application, the first application comprising a slide presentation application or a video application, as part of a visual display of a video conference on the first client device;
• receive, by the video conference application executing on the first client device from the video conference application executing on a second client device, a first command from a first user of a plurality of users authorized to control the first application;
• display, by the video conference application executing on the first client, a second content in the first application in response to the first command;
• receiving, by the video conference application executing on the first client device from the video conference application executing on a third client device, a second command from a second user of the plurality of users authorized to control the first application;
• and
• display, by the video conference application executing on the first client, a third content in the first application in response to the second command.

A device comprising:

• a communications interface;
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute processor-executable instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to:
• display, by a video conference application executing on a first client device, a first content in a first application, the first application comprising a slide presentation application or a video application, as part of a visual display of a video conference on the first client device;
• receive, by the video conference application executing on the first client device from the video conference application executing on a second client device, a first command from a first user of a plurality of users authorized to control the first application;
• display, by the video conference application executing on the first client, a second content in the first application in response to the first command;
• receiving, by the video conference application executing on the first client device from the video conference application executing on a third client device, a second command from a second user of the plurality of users authorized to control the first application;
• and
• display, by the video conference application executing on the first client, a third content in the first application in response to the second command.
