A conference and collaboration system including local computing devices and a receiver are provided. The receiver and/or local devices may run collaboration applications and/or virtual conferencing applications. The receiver and/or at least one local device may be in communication with a remote server running a conference platform and hosting a virtual conference. The receiver may join the conference as a participant and share audio/visual data with the conference platform. The local device may also join and may share audio/visual data with the conference platform and receive conference audio/visual data from the conference platform. The local device may share the conference audio/visual data with the receiver. The receiver may further receive audio/visual data from a non-participant local device and send such data to the conference platform. Alternatively, only a conference device may join the conference as a participant and share audio/visual data from the conference with the local devices.

Systems and methods for video conferencing and collaboration

Systems and methods for reducing latency on a collaborative platform are provided. The collaborative platform involves a display, a moderator device, one or more member devices, and a receiver in communication with the display, the moderator device, and the one or more member devices. To reduce latency of the collaborative platform, the receiver generates an overlay image based on user input received from the display, as well as user type of the user input, generates an overlaid image based on the overlay image, and transmits the overlaid image for display, while a collaboration application generates new real image(s) based on the user input for display. The overlaid image generated may be indicative of actual user input as well as predicted user input using extrapolation and/or machine learning.

Methods and systems for reducing latency on a collaborative platform

Systems and methods of content sharing on a display are provided by establishing connections between a receiver, moderator client device and a plurality of member client devices via a local network that includes at most one node in the communication pathway between any two endpoints in the network, such as a display and one of the plurality of member client devices. The moderator client device transmits a request to promote a first one of the plurality of member client devices to the receiver, which then receives and transmits to the display content from the first one of the plurality of member client devices. The moderator client device also may monitor the screen displays of the plurality of member client devices; enable the receiver to simultaneously show on the display content from two or more of the plurality of member client devices; request transfer of data from the plurality of member client devices to the moderator client device; or delegate moderator authority or control to a subset of the member client devices.
