Abstract

A server system according to the present application includes an issuing unit configured to issue a meeting identification, a storage unit configured to store the issued meeting ID and a file in association with each other, a first control unit configured to receive an instruction to display the file from a first user and configured to display an operation of the first user on an image of the file for which the display instruction is issued on a display unit of an information processing apparatus operated by a second user, and a second control unit configured to display an icon for printing the file associated with the meeting ID together with the image of the file that is operated by the first user on the display unit of the information processing apparatus operated by the second user.

Claims (27)

1. A server system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the server system to:

issue a meeting identification (meeting ID) for identifying a web meeting held by a web meeting service;

store the issued meeting ID and a file in association with each other;

receive an instruction to display an image of the file from a first information processing apparatus operated by a first user and cause a display of a second information processing apparatus operated by a second user to display the image of the file for which the display instruction is received;

install, based on an instruction by the second user, a print plug-in association with the second user on the server system; and

by installing the print plug-in, cause the display to display on a web meeting screen provided by the web meeting service, an object to receive, from the second user, an instruction to print the file associated with the meeting ID associated with the second user.

2. The server system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the meeting ID and a plurality of files are stored in association with each other, and

wherein a screen for receiving selection of the file from the plurality of files by the second user is displayed by an operation of the displayed object.

3. The server system according to claim 2 , wherein the one or more processors cause the server system to:

receive selection of the file to be printed from the plurality of files by the second user; and

transmit the selected file to a cloud print service,

wherein the cloud print service transmits the file to a printer associated with the cloud print service.

4. The server system according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the print plug-in is not installed in association with the second user, the object to receive the instruction to print the file from the second user is not displayed on the web meeting screen.

5. The server system according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the meeting ID associated with the second user is a meeting ID of an online meeting in which the second user participates.

6. A method to be executed by a server system, the method comprising:

issuing a meeting identification (meeting ID) for identifying a web meeting held by a web meeting service;

storing the issued meeting ID and a file in association with each other;

receiving an instruction to display an image of the file from a first information processing apparatus operated by a first user and causing a display of a second information processing apparatus operated by a second user to display the image of the file for which the display instruction is received;

installing, based on an instruction by the second user, a print plug-in in association with the second user on the server system; and

by installing the print plug-in, causing the display to display on a web meeting screen provided by the web meeting service, an object to receive, from the second user, an instruction to print the file associated with the meeting ID associated with the second user.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a server system, causes the server system to perform the method according to claim 6 .
