SHARED-CONTENT SESSION USER INTERFACES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18380116 titled 'SHARED-CONTENT SESSION USER INTERFACES

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about user interfaces for managing shared-content sessions. It involves sharing content with a group of users participating in a shared-content session. The content can be screen-share content or synchronized content, where the output is synchronized across all participants.

• The patent application focuses on user interfaces for managing shared-content sessions.
• It enables sharing of screen-share content or synchronized content among participants.
• The content can be shared from one device to other participants in the session.
• The output of synchronized content is synchronized across all participants.
• The technology provides a way to manage and control shared-content sessions effectively.

Potential Applications:
