Abstract:
Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for conducting a peer to peer conference amongst remote participants. Prior to the conference, a library of digital objects is communicated to an upstream participant communications device and is further communicated from the upstream participant communications device to a downstream participant communications device. During the conference, a synchronization command is communicated from a host communications device to the upstream participant communications device, and then, communicated from the upstream participant communications device to the downstream participant communications device. The synchronization command instructs the upstream participant communications device as well as the connected downstream participant communications device to present an object from the library of digital objects. A synchronization acknowledgment is then communicated from the downstream participant communications device to the upstream communications device, and the upstream participant communications device communicates the synchronization acknowledgement to the host communications device. The synchronization acknowledgment confirms a successful presentation of the object on the upstream participant communications device and on the downstream participant communications device.
