Redacting content in online meetings

A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, via one or more computing devices, a selected portion of content to redact in a first online meeting;
• determining, via the one or more computing devices, if a participant of the first online meeting is in an un-trusted location, wherein the participant of the first online meeting is at least one participant of a plurality of participants of the first online meeting, wherein the first online meeting is a single meeting accessed by the plurality of participants via a collaboration application;
• in response to determining that the participant of the first online meeting is in the un-trusted location, redacting, via the one or more computing devices, the selected portion of content from content available to the participant in the first online meeting to generate a redacted version of the content;
• and
• providing, via the one or more computing devices, in real-time during the first online meeting, the redacted version of the content to the participant in the un-trusted location and providing a non-redacted version of the content of the first online meeting to remaining participants of the first online meeting, wherein all of the content of the first online meeting and the redacted selected portion of content are provided directly from a single source, wherein the redacted selected portion of content provided to the participant in the un-trusted location is encrypted, wherein a degree of encryption is based upon, at least in part, a level of risk associated with the un-trusted location;
• wherein determining whether the location is trusted or un-trusted is based upon, at least in part, a location change of the one or more computing devices.

A computing system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one memory architecture coupled with the at least one processor;
• a first software module executable by the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture, wherein the first software module is configured to receive a selected portion of content to redact in a first online meeting;
• a second software module executable by the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture, wherein the second software module is configured to determine if a participant of the first online meeting is in an un-trusted location, wherein the participant of the first online meeting is at least one participant of a plurality of participants of the first online meeting, wherein the first online meeting is a single meeting accessed by the plurality of participants via a collaboration application;
• a third software module executable by the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture, wherein the third software module is configured to, in response to determining that the participant of the first online meeting is in the un-trusted location, redact the selected portion of content from content available to the participant in the first online meeting to generate a redacted version of the content;
• and
• a fourth software module executable by the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture, wherein the fourth software module is configured to provide, in real-time during the first online meeting, the redacted version of the content to the participant in the un-trusted location and providing a non-redacted version of the content of the first online meeting to remaining participants of the first online meeting, wherein all of the content of the first online meeting and the redacted selected portion of content are provided directly from a single source, wherein the redacted selected portion of content provided to the participant in the un-trusted location is encrypted, wherein a degree of encryption is based upon, at least in part, a level of risk associated with the un-trusted location;
• wherein determining whether the location is trusted or un-trusted is based upon, at least in part, a location change of the one or more computing devices.

A method comprising:

• receiving, via one or more computing devices, a selected portion of content to redact from content available to a participant in a first online meeting, from a content owner, wherein the content available to the participant in the first online meeting is viewable to the content owner in a single window, and wherein the selected portion of content to redact is selectable by the content owner from the single window;
• defining, via the one or more computing devices, the selected portion of content to redact based upon, at least in part, at least one of:
• one or more highlighted areas of the content, one or more graphical elements selected from the content, and one or more regular expressions, received from the content owner;
• determining, via the one or more computing devices, if the participant of the first online meeting is in an un-trusted location, wherein the participant of the first online meeting is at least one participant of a plurality of participants of the first online meeting, wherein the first online meeting is a single meeting accessed by the plurality of participants via a collaboration application;
• in response to determining that the participant of the first online meeting is in the un-trusted location, redacting, via the one or more computing devices, the selected portion of content from content available to the participant in the first online meeting to generate a redacted version of the content;
• and
• providing, via the one or more computing devices, in real-time during the first online meeting, the redacted version of the content to the participant in the un-trusted location and providing a non-redacted version of the content of the first online meeting to remaining participants of the first online meeting, wherein all of the content of the first online meeting and the redacted selected portion of content are provided directly from a single source, wherein the redacted selected portion of content provided to the participant in the un-trusted location is encrypted, wherein a degree of encryption is based upon, at least in part, a level of risk associated with the un-trusted location;
• wherein determining whether the location is trusted or un-trusted is based upon, at least in part, a location change of the one or more computing devices.
