Accessing and configuring meeting attributes

Abstract

Techniques for accessing and configuring meeting attributes are described. In at least some embodiments, a meeting object is leveraged to store meeting attributes and pointers to meeting-related content. A meeting object, for instance, can serve as a manifest for meeting attributes. According to various embodiments, different entities (e.g., applications, services, and so forth) can access a meeting object to ascertain and / or configure meeting attributes for a meeting. For instance, a meeting application programming interface (API) can be employed to enable different entities to interact with a meeting object in various ways.

Background technique [0001] Modern communication systems have a range of capabilities, including the integration of various communication modalities with different services. For example, voice / video communication, messaging, data / application sharing, whiteboarding, and other forms of communication can be combined to provide diverse communication scenarios. For example, online meetings enable a rich collaborative experience via the integration of different communication modalities. [0002] While current solutions for online conferencing allow various types of collaboration, they also pose many implementation challenges. For example, a typical online meeting utilizes different services to handle different aspects of the meeting. A calendar service handles scheduling and invitations, a presence service handles meeting connectivity between participants, a content service handles meeting content, and more. Thus, typical online meetings involve a fragmented set of services and c...
