More Information
Summary:The techniques disclosed herein enable participants of a teleconference session to access the functionality of a number of task-related program modules while maintaining engagement with aspects of a teleconference session within a single user interface. For example, a session participant can access files, various chat discussions, various channels, calendars, emails, an operating system desktop, and other functionality of a computing device while viewing one or more video streams of a teleconference session within a unified graphical user interface. The session participant can maintain engagement with both audio and video capabilities while performing tasks, including but not limited to, selecting, viewing, and modifying content data. In some configurations, a specialized graphical user interface allows a user to view one or more video streams of the teleconference session in predetermined positions while also providing optimal access to tools for interacting with different types of content managed by a variety of modules.
