Abstract
The claimed subject matter can provide an architecture and various mechanism whereby a communication client can facilitate a more robust collaboration experience. The communication client can provide configurable menus for launching third-party resources locally and transmitting resource invites to remote entities along with appropriate information to enable the remote entities to launch the resource locally as well. The architecture can provide for peer-to-peer collaboration sessions as well as server directed collaboration sessions.

18. A computer-implemented method for facilitating a more robust collaborative experience by requesting a collaboration session, comprising:
-
accessing a registration key associated with a GUID; populating a client menu with a menu item for a disparate resource associated with the GUID; launching the disparate resource locally with a set of input parameters; generating a resource invite for facilitating a collaboration session, the resource invite including the GUID and the set of input parameters; and transmitting the resource invite based upon information included in the registration key. - View Dependent Claims (19)
