Abstract
An approach is provided for binding devices into a group for one or more collaborative applications. A device binding application determined a request, from at least one host device, to bind one or more other devices for initiating at least one collaborative application. The device binding application determines an order for binding the one or more other devices to the at least one host device. The device binding application causes, at least in part, a presentation of one or more binding instructions to the at least one host device, the one or more other devices, or a combination thereof based, at least in part, on the order.
