Abstract
An apparatus, system and method of providing feedback to a presenter in an e-meeting in which visual information is being presented are provided. During presentation, the computer system of each participant is monitored to ensure that the window in which the visual information is being presented (i.e., the e-meeting window) is the window in focus. If the e-meeting window is not the window in focus, the presenter is notified. Generally, to notify the presenter, a status message is sent from the computer system on which the e-meeting window is not the window in focus to a server. There, status messages from different computer systems are combined together. The combined status message is then periodically sent to the presenter.
