Abstract
Enhancing a video conference that is provided by video conference software includes a subset of participants of the video conference using a particular add-on application that is compatible with the video conference software, the add-on application obtaining communication parameters from the video conference software, discovering the subset of the participants, and the add-on application using the communication parameters from the video conference software to provide at least some of the subset of the participants with private communication that is independent of communication capabilities provided by the video conference software and to provide at least one visual indication to each of the subset of participants. The add-on application may provide specific data to the video conference software. The video conference software may provide the specific data to particular participants of the video conference independently of whether any of the particular participants have the add-on application.
