摘要

Implementations generally relate to facilitating presentations in video conferences. In some implementations, a method includes enabling a presenting user to provide a document to a network system. The method further includes enabling the document to be rendered on one or more devices of one or more respective viewing users, where the one or more devices are local to the one or more viewing users. The method further includes enabling the presenting user to navigate the document during a presentation.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a document in a network system; sending document content and first formatting information associated with the document to a first device of at least a first viewing user, wherein the document content and the first formatting information are configured to enable the first device to locally render representation of the document on a display screen of the first device during a video conference; sending the document content and second formatting information to a second device of at least a second viewing user wherein the document content and the second formatting information are configured to enable the second device to locally render representation of the document on a display screen of the second device in the video conference, wherein at least a portion of the first formatting information and the second formatting information are different; and sending one or more first commands to the first device and sending one or more second commands to the second device, wherein the one or more first commands and the one or more second commands are configured to enable a presenting user of the video conference to navigate locally rendered and respectively formatted representations of the document for the first viewing user and second viewing user at a same time during the video conference such that at least a portion of the document content locally rendered according to the first formatting information on the first device is the same as the document content locally rendered according to the second formatting information on the second device.
