Abstract

Synchronous communication tools allow remote users to collaborate by exchanging text, audio, images or video messages in synchronous sessions. In some scenarios, it is paramount that collaborative synchronous sessions be recorded for later review. In particular in the case of web conferencing tools, the approach usually adopted for recording a meeting is to generate a linear video with the content of the exchanged media. Such approach limits the review of a meeting to users watching a video using traditional timeline-based video controls. In this work we advocate that interactive multimedia documents can be generated automatically as a result of capturing a synchronous session. We outline our approach presenting a case of study involving remote communication, and detail the generation of a multimedia document by means of operators focusing on the interaction among the collaborating users.
