Patented Technology Behind the CollaborationRoom.ai Virtual Floor
At CollaborationRoom.ai, we get it — managing distributed teams with tools that weren’t built for contact-center operations is frustrating. Our patented system helps recreate (and improve upon) the benefits of a physical floor with continuous visibility and collaboration.
Title: Collecting and Sharing Live Video and Screen Feeds of Participants in a Virtual Collaboration Room
Inventor: Sameer Maini • Assignee: Global Imports L.L.C.
Remote & hybrid isn’t the problem. Fragmented visibility is.
When teams spread out, supervisors lose the “at-a-glance” context that exists naturally on a physical floor. That’s when coaching becomes inconsistent, collaboration slows down, and teams drift.
- At-a-glance visibility across people and work
- Faster coaching loops without endless tool switching
- Structured collaboration that feels like a real floor again
What does this patent cover (in plain English)?
This patent covers systems and methods for sharing data streams in a virtual collaboration room — including receiving a participant’s live video and screen-sharing stream, while also providing the user with video and screen streams from other participants, configured for simultaneous display.
How it works
Participants enter a virtual collaboration room from their devices.
The system receives each user’s live video so others can see them in real time.
The system receives screen-sharing data so teammates can view work as it happens.
Each participant’s video + screen streams are shared back to everyone in the room.
What started as a better remote training experience became a foundation for real-time collaboration and execution.
Why this matters for distributed operations
General video meeting tools are not designed for continuous operational visibility; distributed teams need shared context all day, not just scheduled calls; a structured, at-a-glance collaboration environment brings back the physical floor experience.
Know what’s happening across the team without bouncing between tools.
Turn moments of confusion into fast alignment with live context and support.
Bring back the rhythm of a physical floor—visibility, connection, and momentum.
What is a virtual collaboration room?
A virtual collaboration room is a shared digital space where people can be displayed together in an organized layout — including live video tiles and screen-sharing panels — so teams can collaborate with the same immediacy they’d have side-by-side.
- Multi-participant live video
- Participant screen-sharing streams
- Simultaneous display in a structured layout
