Abstract
Remote collaboration sessions may allow a local user to share their entire desktop or a single application with a remote user. By allowing each of a number of windows, but not all windows, to be selectively provided by the local computer to the remote computer, a more efficient collaboration session may be provided that does not require the local user to terminate sharing, when sharing a first application, then re-initiate sharing for the second application, just to switch between applications. Or, alternatively, alleviates the need to select the entire desktop that may comprise confidential information not to be shared. By allowing each, but not all, applications to be shared remotely and simultaneously, a remote user can be presented with relevant, but not excluded, application windows from the local computer.
