Abstract
Under the present invention, a source meeting partner can select a target application for sharing with one ore more destination meeting partners during a collaborative meeting. Upon selection of the target application, a portion of a meeting application window will be removed, and a window corresponding to the target application will be positioned to be viewable through the removed portion. If necessary, one or more navigators (e.g., scroll bars) can be provided to manipulate the target application window. Thus, the present invention allows the meeting application window and the target application window to be simultaneously viewable without requiring resizing or repositioning of either one.
