A system for modifying a user interface described herein can include a processor to detect a plurality of display screens electronically coupled to the system. The processor can also detect a first gesture corresponding to an application window displayed in one of the display screens and generate a preview panel in response to detecting the first gesture, the preview panel to be displayed proximate the application window, wherein the preview panel is to display a real-time image comprising content displayed in each of the display screens. Furthermore, the processor can detect a second gesture to move the application window to a different display screen modify the user interface to display the application window in the different display screen.

A system for generating proximal menus described herein can include a processor to detect a location of a touch gesture on a display device coupled to the system. The processor can also determine a proximal menu is to be displayed at the location of the touch gesture and populate the proximal menu with at least one feature corresponding to a ring of an operating system. Furthermore, the processor can display the proximal menu with the at least one feature within an executed application.

Proximal menu generation

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described here that identify meeting content. A meeting content determiner in a shared computing device identifies a group including two or more participants in a meeting, where at least one participant of the group is logged into an account associated with a meeting content determiner. Further, the meeting content determiner identifies content associated with the two or more participants, and accessible by the at least one participant logged into the account and displays indications of the identified content to one or more participants of the group.

Identification of meeting group and related content

Systems, methods, and software for facilitating enhanced collection environments are disclosed. In at least one implementation, a collection environment is presented that includes a presentation recording and a written paragraph. The presentation recording includes presentation sections while the paragraph includes written sections. A user input may be directed to the written paragraph. One of the written paragraphs is identified as corresponding to the user input. In addition, one the presentation sections is identified as corresponding to the written section. A media function can then be applied to the presentation section in the presentation recording.

Enhanced collection environments

A computing device is provided, which may include an input device configured to receive natural user input, and an application program executed by a processor of the computing device, the application program configured to: retrieve an electronic calendar including calendar data for one or more meeting events, each meeting event including a meeting time and meeting data, receive a generic meeting invocation request via a natural user input detected by the input device, based on at least receiving the generic meeting invocation request at a point in time, search the electronic calendar for a meeting event having a meeting time that is within a threshold time period of the point in time that the natural user input was received, and start the meeting event including processing the meeting data for the meeting event.

Starting meeting using natural user input

A method of storing data from a whiteboard application executed on a computing system including an interactive display device is provided. The method comprises storing, in a memory of the computing system, whiteboard data input to the whiteboard application in response to user interaction with the interactive display device, displaying a login selector on the interactive display device, upon detecting actuation of the login selector, identifying the user based on credentials of the user; and in response to identifying the user, (i) retrieving previews of stored whiteboard files from a user account in a cloud-based storage system corresponding to the identity of the user, (ii) displaying the previews on the interactive display device, and (iii) uploading the whiteboard data as a whiteboard file from the memory of the computing system to the user account.
