Multiple schemes and techniques for facilitating presentations with an
interactive application are described. For example, an interactive
application provides a console view overlay for integrating multiple
productivity applications into a graphical user interface (GUI) window.
An interactive application can also share a selected display portion of
the console view overlay with other interactive applications. As another
example, presenters and other audience members can draw on the selected
display portion being shared, and the drawn graphics are synchronously
displayed by the other interactive applications. Interactive
applications, as directed by their users, can join various member groups
and specific presentations thereof. Moreover, a user may share content in
accordance with membership grouping.
