Abstract
A system is described for collaborative access to a virtual desktop through separate remote client devices. An owner of the virtual desktop can initiate a session with the virtual desktop through a client on her client device. The owner can request through her client to create a collaborative session, identifying one or more collaborators. Links for joining the virtual desktop can be generated and an invitation can be sent to each collaborator. A collaborator can accept the invitation and a client application can be launched on the collaborator's client and routed to the virtual desktop. Once authorized, collaborators can be connected to the virtual desktop session. Each collaborator in the session may view the GUI of the virtual desktop in her client application. Input control can be managed and delegated to collaborators by the owner of the session.
