Abstract

A multi-media online conversation in which automatic actions associated with executable components, such as recording and broadcasting, are performed by adding a visualized representation of the action into the online conversation. The action appears as a visualization in a portion of the user interface that includes both individuals that may be joined into a conference as well as one or more executable components. The action associated within an executable component may thus be efficiently performed in a consistent manner with how individuals are added into an online conversation, thereby taking advantage of muscle memory of the participant.
