System and method for virtual social colocation

A system and method for virtual social colocation with dynamic participation and audience among users with defined relationships are disclosed. In one embodiment, bridging of digital content and audio and/or video streams originating from one of first end points and incoming audio and/or video streams from remaining first end points is enabled on the one of the first end points. Further, first integrated audio and/or video streams and a second integrated audio and/or video stream are created based on the digital content and the audio and/or video streams originating from the one of the first end points and the incoming audio and/or video streams and sent to the remaining first end points and a virtual social colocation service (VSCS), respectively, by the one of the first end points. Also, the second integrated audio and/or video stream is broadcasted to the second end points by the VSCS.

Method and device for controlling content during a virtual meeting

An electronic device is provided that includes a first display configured to display a primary resource, and a second display electronically coupled to the first display. The electronic device also includes a processor, and a data storage device having executable instructions accessible by the processor. Responsive to execution of the instructions, the processor shares the first display, including the primary resource, with at least one network based electronic device, and obtains context data related to a user of the at least one network based electronic device. Also responsive to the instructions, the processor selects between the first display and the second display to launch a network responsive resource based on the context data related to the user of the at least one network based electronic device while sharing the first display with the at least one network based electronic device.
