Real-time interactions made by a client on a whiteboard are shown on remote client(s) currently viewing the whiteboard. The real-time interactions that are shown on the remote clients can include a variety of different interactions. For example, the location(s) of where a remote client is touching the whiteboard or interacting with the whiteboard using a stylus may be viewed. A current inking stroke of a remote user may also be viewed as it is occurring. Interactions on the whiteboard may be shown differently depending on the remote user performing the interaction. The whiteboard may also show a location on the whiteboard where each of the remote users are currently viewing. A user may also track the actions of another user. When a change is committed to the whiteboard, the remote clients update the display to reflect the committed state.

A cloud-based broker service may be provided for computing devices in a distributed computing environment. The broker service may aggregate user accounts and user account credentials utilized for accessing online services by the computing devices. The broker service may monitor a context of the computing devices associated with the user accounts. The broker service may then utilize the context, data associated with the user accounts and data associated with the user account credentials to automate tasks and/or provide alerts associated with the data.

A location enhanced meeting service ('LEM Service') may provide a geographical based map indicating meeting locations for a selected day. The user can view locations of meetings for a scheduled day, along with travel times. Conditions impacting travel time may be provided to the user along with updated estimated travel times and suggested alternative routes. The scale of the map may be based on the geographical diversity of the attendees. A user can view a location enhanced meeting map for particular meeting, and obtain directions to the meeting. The user can also request to view attendee's locations to the meeting on the map prior to the meeting. If an attendee is expected to be late, the user may establish a voice conference with that attendee. If a user is expected to be late to a meeting, the user may provide a notification to the other attendees of the meeting.
