Abstract
Enabling active host content related actions on a client device can begin with a client device receiving guest screen data and optionally host screen metadata from a server. The content of the guest screen data can be presented on the client device. A passive element corresponding to each active element of the server host screen can be identified. The active element of the server host screen can be selectable by the presenter and, upon selection (active event), can launch an active action on the server. The passive element of the client guest screen can have a defined selectable overlay hot spot. A hot spot can be can be associated with a hot spot action at the client. The hot spot action taken by the client, upon a hot spot event, can correspond to the active action taken by the server.
