Understanding collaboration tools
When a collaboration session is open with another party, the SIP Multimedia PC
Client offers the following tools:
• File exchange enables you to send and receive files to the remote
collaborator.
• Whiteboard enables you to collaborate by entering text and graphic objects
in a shared workspace, which both you and the other person can manipulate
and view equally.
• Clipboard enables you to send and receive the contents of a Windows
clipboard, which can contain a wide variety of content copied from Windows
applications, such as images, clips of text, logs, and so forth.
