Abstract
An activity stream is created in a first medium. The activity stream is a mechanism where participants can collaborate on a subject. Participants are added to the activity stream. A participant in the activity stream initiates a communication in a second medium. The status of the communication is determined. If the status of the communication is active, the status of the communication is indicated in the activity stream.
The status can be information that is parsed from the communication, an invitation to join the communication, a link to a recording of the communication, a link to the communication, a conversion of a voice communication to text, an indication to create a second communication in a second medium, and the like. How participants interact can be controlled by default parameters or based on a profile.
