Abstract
A method is provided to simplify the connection to a meeting service based on a link presented in a text-based communication session. The method involves monitoring the text-based communication session among at least two participants and detecting in the text-based communication session a text string that represents a link to a meeting service. The text string is converted to a graphical user interface element that indicates a connection to the meeting service. The graphical user interface element is displayed in association with the text-based communication session.
