Methods and systems for multi-application video conferencing are described herein. A computing device may establish a communications session with a user computing device, then establish a group video call session with a group video call application. The computing device may provide, to the user computing device, video output associated with the group video call session. The computing device may receive, from the user computing device, input (e.g., video, audio, commands). The computing device may convert, based on an identity of the group video call application, the input into a format compatible with the group video call application. The computing device may then provide, to the group video call application, the converted input.

Integrated video conferencing platform

Disclosed is a computing system capable of performing a method that involves receiving, from a first device, a first indication that a peripheral device associated with the first device is available for sharing; sending, to a second device, a second indication that the peripheral device is available for sharing; receiving, from the second device, a request to access the peripheral device; and based at least in part on receipt of the request, causing a peer-to-peer connection to be established between the second device and the first device, the peer-to-peer connection enabling communication between the second device and the peripheral device. The peer-to-peer connection may, for example, enable direction of the peripheral device to the second device so that the peripheral device is a virtual device of the second device.

Perhipheral device sharing over peer-to-peer connection

Methods and systems for a unified application notification framework are described herein. A server may receive a notification from a service provider. The service provider may be associated with an application executable on a virtual machine. The virtual machine may be part of a virtual environment that includes a user interface. The server may determine an identifier for the received notification. The identifier may indicate the application on the virtual machine associated with the service provider. The server may provide the received notification to the user interface for display to a user. The received notification may be displayed without execution of the application on the virtual machine.
