Methods and systems for application publishing in a virtualized environment are described herein. A system may facilitate publishing of one or more shortcuts based on inputs made in the virtual desktop environment (e. g., when a user 'drag-and-drops' a shortcut onto a publishing icon on a desktop). The system may determine application information and instance information for the application, and may publish a shortcut for that application to the storefront. As a result, users may be permitted to self-publish shortcuts for preferred applications onto personalized storefronts, which may be unique to each user.

Application publishing in a virtualized environment

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

A method may include, in an initial virtual machine session for a user running on a virtual machine at a virtualization server, loading a roaming user profile for the user, generating a user search index database for the user, and indexing the roaming user profile in the user search index database. The method may further include, in a subsequent virtual machine session for the user running on the virtualization server, roaming the user search index database to the subsequent virtual machine session as part of the roaming user profile.

Virtualization environment providing user-based search index roaming and related methods

Techniques are disclosed for a hybrid undo/redo for text editing, where non-linear undo and redo operations are performed across dynamic regions in a document and linear undo and redo operations are performed within the dynamic regions in the document. In an example, the hybrid undo/redo may be achieved by maintaining respective region offset values for the dynamic regions created in a document by the edits made to the document. In operation, the respective region offset values associated with the dynamic regions can be used to negate or otherwise counteract the effect of edits made in the dynamic regions.

Dynamic region based application operations

Methods and systems for a centralized notification service are described herein. The centralized notification service may store notification data received from a plurality of devices and workspaces in a notification database. The notification database may store user account information, associated device and workspace information, associated application information, and notifications received or retrieved from each device and application associated with a user account. The notification service may receive notification data from a plurality of applications based on hooks injected into applications or into a notification manager service.

Multi-device workspace notifications

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

Techniques are disclosed for providing secure resume of sessions such as, for example, application sessions. An example methodology implementing the techniques includes receiving, by a computing device, a request to resume a session, the session being hosted on a remote computer system and accessible by the computing device to enable display of content of the session via the computing device. The method also includes initiating one or more actions on the remote computer system to prevent content of the session from being visible on the computing device in response to resumption of the session and resuming the session on the remote computer system such that the content of the session is hidden from view within a display of the computing device as a result of the initiation of the one or more actions.

Secure session resume

Peripheral device sharing over peer-to-peer connection

A method may include, in an initial virtual machine session for a user running on a virtualization server, loading a roaming user profile for the user, generating a user search index database for the user, and indexing the roaming user profile in the user search index database. In a subsequent virtual machine session for the user running on the at least one server, the user search index database for the user may be loaded and the index for the roaming user profile obtained therefrom without re-indexing the roaming user profile.

Methods and systems for application publishing in a virtualized environment are described herein. A system may facilitate publishing of one or more shortcuts based on inputs made in the virtual desktop environment (e.g., when a user 'drag-and-drops' a shortcut onto a publishing icon on a desktop). The system may determine application information and instance information for the application, and may publish a shortcut for that application to the storefront. As a result, users may be permitted to self-publish shortcuts for preferred applications onto personalized storefronts, which may be unique to each user.
