Accessing settings of a videoconference using touch-based gestures
First Claim
1. A non-transitory, computer accessible memory medium comprising program instructions for accessing settings of a videoconferencing system using a touch screen, wherein the program instructions are executable to:
- receive user input to the touch screen, wherein the user input comprises a complex touch gesture to access settings of the videoconferencing system;
provide a settings interface on a display in response to the complex touch gesture, wherein the settings interface provided depends on a context of the user input, wherein the settings interface provided does not depend upon a position on the touch screen at which the user input is received.

Abstract
Controlling a videoconference based on gestures received to a touch interface. A gesture may be received to a touch interface. In response to the gesture, a videoconference action may be performed. For example, a first gesture may be received to mute the videoconference and in response, the videoconference may be muted. As another example, a second gesture may be received to adjust the volume of the videoconference, and the volume may be correspondingly adjusted. Further, various gestures may be received for controlling one or more cameras in a videoconference, accessing settings in a videoconference, interacting with a presentation, etc.
