RECORD AND PLAYBACK FOR ONLINE COLLABORATION SESSIONS

摘要

Technology is disclosed for an online collaboration service that provides for online collaboration sessions, and the recording and playback of those online sessions (the “technology”). The technology enables two or more users to communicate in real-time by sharing streaming data, such as audio or video streams. The technology enables those users to take collaborative actions, such as posting messages, sharing files, sharing screens, annotating virtual whiteboards and allowing remote control of their devices. Metadata associated with users' collaborative actions are shown during the session in an activity timeline. The technology enables users to record and playback online collaboration sessions and their associated timelines. During playback, users are provided with navigation capabilities for both the streaming data and its associated activity timeline, individually and in conjunction.
