System and method for enabling electronic presentations

摘要

A system and method is provided for enabling collaborative electronic presentations. The method can include the operation of taking a snapshot of a shared application. The snapshot can be initiated by a snapshot control accessible to the user. Another operation can be linking the snapshot control to an electronic whiteboard to provide communication between the snapshot control and the electronic whiteboard. Once a link has been established, then the operation of transferring the snapshot to the electronic whiteboard in response to activation of the snapshot control can take place. A further operation is moving the whiteboard to a foreground for use by the user. The snapshot can be displayed in a whiteboard annotation area and moved to the foreground in response to the snapshot control activation. In addition, the snapshot in the whiteboard annotation area can be annotated upon by the user.
