Abstract
In one embodiment, the methods and apparatuses detect an application associated with a requester; suggest the application based on a requester parameter; select the application by the requester; and automatically initiate the application for the requester.
Claims19
A method comprising;
- detecting an application for use by a requester currently participating in a collaboration session including a plurality of participants, at least one of the participants being a presenter who shares content over a network, and at least one of the participants being an attendee who receives the shared content over the network;
- suggesting the application to the requester based on a requester parameter of a profile that corresponds to the requester;
- receiving a selection of the application from the requester;
- determining whether the requester has permission to access the application based on a number of participants currently attending the collaboration session;
- in response to determining that the requester has permission to access the application, automatically initiating the application for the requester;
- and
- in response to determining that the requester does not have permission to access the application, requesting permission to access the application.
