Abstract
A system is provided for switching a VDI collaborative session where multiple clients are collaboratively accessing a first virtual desktop to a second virtual desktop belonging to one of the collaborators. The owner of the second virtual desktop requests the system to switch the collaboration session to the second virtual desktop. The connection server disconnects the requesting user from the first virtual desktop, connects the user to the second virtual desktop, and invites the other collaborators to join the session on the second virtual desktop. After accepting the invitation, the collaborators are joined to the second virtual desktop and collaboration resumes on the second virtual desktop.
