Sharing a screenshot during a network conference
System and methods for sharing a screen shot of a conference application during a network conference. In an embodiment, a method is provided for sharing a screen shot of a conference application during a network conference. The method includes participating in a network conference using a client application, selecting a conference application from a plurality of conference applications, running the conference application from the client application during the network conference, capturing a screen shot of a display window generated by the conference application during the network conference, and transmitting the screen shot to attendees of the network conference.
1. A method comprising:
displaying, by a client application on a first client device of a plurality of client devices connected to a network conference, a conference display, the conference display comprising a plurality of video streams associated with the network conference, where in the conference display comprises a sidebar;
executing, by the client application, a first conference application of a plurality of conference applications displayed in the sidebar, each conference application of the plurality of conference applications configured to generate a display window within the conference display;
capturing, by the client application, a screen shot of the display window generated by the first conference application; and
transmitting, by the client application, the screen shot to at least a subset of the plurality of client devices during the network conference.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a user input to capture the screen shot.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an identification of the subset of the plurality of client devices.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
executing, by the client application during the network conference, a second conference application concurrently with the first conference application;
receiving a selection of a second display window generated by the second conference application;
capturing a second screen shot of the second display window; and
transmitting the second screen shot to at least a second subset of the plurality of client devices during the network conference.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second subset comprises a different subset of client devices than the subset.
6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising receiving an identification of the second subset of the plurality of client devices.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a selection, via the client application, of the first conference application from a list of a plurality of installed conference applications.
8. A system comprising:
a communications interface;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the communications interface and the non-transitory computer-readable medium, the one or more processors configured to execute processor-executable instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to:
display, by a client application on a first client device of a plurality of client devices connected to a network conference, a conference display, the conference display comprising a plurality of video streams associated with the network conference, where in the conference display comprises a sidebar;
execute, by the client application, a first conference application of a plurality of conference applications displayed in the sidebar, each conference application of the plurality of conference applications configured to generate a display window;
capture, by the client application, a screen shot of the display window generated by the first conference application; and
transmit, by the client application, the screen shot to at least a subset of the plurality of client devices during the network conference.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute further processor-executable instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to receive a user input to capture the screen shot.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute further processor-executable instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to receive an identification of the subset of the plurality of client devices.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute further processor-executable instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to:
execute, by the client application during the network conference, a second conference application concurrently with the first conference application;
receive a selection of a second display window generated by the second conference application;
capture a second screen shot of the second display window; and
transmit the second screen shot to at least a second subset of the plurality of client devices during the network conference.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the second subset comprises a different subset of client devices than the subset.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute further processor-executable instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to receive an identification of the second subset of the plurality of client devices.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute further processor-executable instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to receive a selection, via the client application, of the first conference application from a list of a plurality of installed conference applications.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising execute processor-executable instructions configured to cause one or more processors to:
display, by a client application on a first client device of a plurality of client devices connected to a network conference, a conference display, the conference display comprising a plurality of video streams associated with the network conference, where in the conference display comprises a sidebar;
execute, by the client application, a first conference application of a plurality of conference applications displayed in the sidebar, each conference application of the plurality of conference applications configured to generate a display window;
capture, by the client application, a screen shot of the display window generated by the first conference application; and
transmit, by the client application, the screen shot to at least a subset of the plurality of client devices during the network conference.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising processor-executable instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to receive a user input to capture the screen shot.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising processor-executable instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to receive an identification of the subset of the plurality of client devices.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising processor-executable instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to:
execute, by the client application during the network conference, a second conference application concurrently with the first conference application;
receive a selection of a second display window generated by the second conference application;
capture a second screen shot of the second display window; and
transmit the second screen shot to at least a second subset of the plurality of client devices during the network conference.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the second subset comprises a different subset of client devices than the subset.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , further comprising processor-executable instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to receive an identification of the second subset of the plurality of client devices.
