Video conference content requests to non-participants
Systems and methods for providing video conference content requests to non-participants. An example method may include receiving, from a first participant of a video conference, via a first communication channel that is associated with the video conference, a content request directed to a non-participant, wherein the non-participant is not connected to the video conference; transmitting, via a second communication channel that is not associated with the video conference, the content request to the non-participant; receiving, from the non-participant, a response to the content request; and transmitting, via the first communication channel, to at least one of the first participant or a second participant of the video conference, a message reflecting the response.
1. A method comprising:
presenting, by a video conference platform, a video conference on a user device of a first participant;
receiving, by the video conference platform and from the first participant of the video conference, via a first communication channel that is associated with the video conference, a content request directed to a non-participant, wherein the non-participant is not connected to the video conference;
receiving, by the video conference platform, destination information related to a communication service associated with the non-participant;
transmitting, by the video conference platform and via a second communication channel that is not associated with the video conference, to a server associated with the communication service, the content request to the non-participant, wherein the content request is transmitted to the server using the destination information;
receiving, by the video conference platform from the server, a response to the content request; and
transmitting, by the video conference platform via the first communication channel, to at least one of the first participant or a second participant of the video conference, a message reflecting the response.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
causing the message reflecting the response to be displayed, to one or more participants of the video conference, in a video conference interface.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the content request to the non-participant and receiving the response to the content request is performed by a video conference platform.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the content request to the non-participant and receiving the response to the content request is performed by a video conference application.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content request comprises an identifier used to identify at least one of an email address, a phone number, or a unique identifier of the non-participant.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content request comprises at least one of a text message, a survey, or an audio file.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content request is transmitted to multiple non-participants.
8. A system, comprising:
a memory;
a processing device operatively coupled to the memory, the processing device configured to:
present a video conference on a user device of a first participant;
receive, from the first participant of the video conference, via a first communication channel that is associated with the video conference, a content request directed to a non-participant, wherein the non-participant is not connected to the video conference;
receive destination information related to a communication service associated with the non-participant;
transmit, via a second communication channel that is not associated with the video conference, to a server associated with the communication service, the content request to the non-participant, wherein the content request is transmitted to the server using the destination information;
receive, from the server, a response to the content request; and
transmit, via the first communication channel, to at least one of the first participant or a second participant of the video conference, a message reflecting the response.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processing device is further configured to:
cause the message reflecting the response to be displayed, to one or more participants of the video conference, in a video conference interface.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein transmitting the content request to the non-participant and receiving the response to the content request is performed by a video conference platform.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein transmitting the content request to the non-participant and receiving the response to the content request is performed by a video conference application.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the content request comprises an identifier used to identify at least one of an email address, a phone number, or a unique identifier of the non-participant.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the content request comprises at least one of a text message, a survey, or an audio file.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the content request is transmitted to multiple non-participants.
15. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing executable instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
present a video conference on a user device of a first participant;
receive, from the first participant of the video conference, via a first communication channel that is associated with the video conference, a content request directed to a non-participant, wherein the non-participant is not connected to the video conference;
receive destination information related to a communication service associated with the non-participant;
transmit, via a second communication channel that is not associated with the video conference, to a server associated with the communication service, the content request to the non-participant, wherein the content request is transmitted to the server using the destination information;
receive, from the server, a response to the content request; and
transmit, via the first communication channel, to at least one of the first participant or a second participant of the video conference, a message reflecting the response.
16. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , further comprising executable instructions that, when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to:
cause the message reflecting the response to be displayed, to one or more participants of the video conference, in a video conference interface.
17. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein transmitting the content request to the non-participant and receiving the response to the content request is performed by a video conference platform.
18. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein:
wherein transmitting the content request to the non-participant and receiving the response to the content request is performed by a video conference application.
19. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the content request comprises an identifier used to identify at least one of an email address, a phone number, or a unique identifier of the non-participant.
20. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the content request is transmitted to multiple non-participants.
