Abstract
A method for sharing hidden information in a virtual meeting is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes sharing, by way of a web-conference server, a source window presented on a source system with a target window presented on a target system. The method detects selection of a specific area on the target window and correlates the specific area on the target window with a corresponding area on the source window. The method determines whether the corresponding area on the source window links to hidden information, such as a hyperlink, on the source window. If the corresponding area links to hidden information, the method communicates one or more of the hidden information and a link to the hidden information to the target system. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
