A collaborative electronic presentation application is disclosed allowing real-time editing of an electronic presentation. The electronic presentation is made up of a plurality of scenes, each having one or more meeting objects or pods that display various information to participating users. Some of the participating users may have presentation rights while other users may have only viewing rights. Presenters may request to edit or prepare one of the scenes that is not currently active within the electronic presentation. When requested, the preparing presenter is shown the requested scene while each of the other meeting participants remain viewing the currently active scene. The preparing presenter may then edit the selected scene or even create a new scene to add to the presentation while the electronic presentation is in progress.

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: transmitting by a host server a first communication stream representing a current scene to at least one presenter and at least one user conducting a meeting, the current scene comprising at least one meeting object, the current scene being viewable by the at least one presenter and the at least one user; transmitting by the host server a second communication stream representing an inactive scene to the at least one presenter, the inactive scene being viewable by the at least one presenter only; receiving at least one object for the inactive scene from the at least one presenter during the meeting, the at least one object being associated with the meeting; modifying the inactive scene by locating the at least one object in the inactive scene; and assigning presentation rights to the at least one presenter, wherein presentation rights authorize the at least one presenter to request a modification to at least one of the inactive scene or the current scene, wherein the modification comprises at least one of: moving a position of the at least one object or the at least one meeting object within a respective scene; or resizing the at least one object or the at least one meeting object. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: responsive to a command received from the at least one presenter, configuring the first communication stream by replacing the current scene with the inactive scene having the at least one object located therein, wherein the inactive screen having the at least one object located therein is viewable by the at least one presenter and the at least one user. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the second communication stream representing the inactive scene to the at least one presenter is associated with a tab on a display to the at least one presenter provided by the host server, wherein, responsive to the at least one presenter selecting the tab, the inactive scene is viewable to the at least one presenter. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the inactive scene is not viewable by the at least one user. 5. A computer program product having computer program logic stored on a computer-readable medium, the computer program product comprising: code for transmitting a current scene to at least one presenter and at least one user conducting a meeting, the current scene comprising at least one meeting object, the current scene being viewable by the at least one presenter and the at least one user; code for transmitting an inactive scene to the at least one presenter, the inactive scene being viewable by the at least one presenter only; code for receiving at least one object for the inactive scene from the at least one presenter during the meeting, the at least one object being associated with the meeting; code for modifying the inactive scene by locating the at least one object in the inactive scene; and code for assigning presentation rights to the at least one presenter, wherein presentation rights authorize the at least one presenter to request a modification to at least one of the inactive scene or the current scene, wherein the modification comprises at least one of: moving a position of the at least one object or the at least one meeting object within a respective scene; or resizing the at least one object or the at least one meeting object. 6. The computer program product of claim 5, further comprising: code for, responsive to a command received from the at least one presenter, replacing the current scene with the inactive scene having the at least one object located therein, wherein the inactive screen having the at least one object located therein is viewable by the at least one presenter and the at least one user. 7. The computer program product of claim 5, wherein the inactive scene is associated with a tab on a display to the at least one presenter provided by the host server, wherein, responsive to the at least one presenter selecting the tab, the inactive scene is viewable to the at least one presenter. 8. The computer program product of claim 5, wherein the inactive scene is not viewable by the at least one user. 9. The computer program product of claim 5, wherein code for providing the current scene to the at least one presenter and the at least one user conducting a meeting comprises code for transmitting a first communication stream representing the current scene to the at least one presenter and the at least one user, wherein code for providing the inactive scene to the at least one presenter comprises code for transmitting a second communication stream representing to the inactive scene to the at least one presenter only. 10. A computer system comprising: a host server in communication with a first client computing device controllable by a user and in communication with a second client computing device controllable by a presenter, the user and the presenter being capable of conducting a meeting through the host server, the host server being capable of: transmitting a first communication stream representing a current scene to the first client computing device controllable by the user and the second client computing device controllable by the presenter, wherein the current scene comprises at least one meeting object; transmitting a second communication stream representing an inactive scene to the second client computing device controllable by the presenter, wherein the inactive scene is inaccessible to the first client computing device controllable by the user; receiving at least one object for the inactive scene from the second client computing device controllable by the presenter, the at least one object being associated with the meeting; modifying the inactive scene by locating the at least one object in the inactive scene; and assigning presentation rights to the presenter, wherein presentation rights authorize receipt of a modification to at least one of the inactive scene or the current scene from the second client computing device controllable by the presenter, wherein the modification comprises at least one of: moving a position of the at least one object or the at least one meeting object within a respective scene; or resizing the at least one object or the at least one meeting object. 11. The computer system of claim 10, wherein the host server is capable of: responsive to a command received from the second client computing device controllable by the presenter, configuring the first communication stream by replacing the current scene with the inactive scene having the at least one object located therein, wherein the inactive screen having the at least one object located therein is accessible to the first client computing device controllable by the user and the second client computing device controllable by the presenter. 12. The computer system of claim 10, wherein the second communication stream representing the inactive scene is associated with a tab displayed by the second client computing device to the presenter, wherein, responsive to the at least one presenter selecting the tab, the host server configures the inactive scene to be displayable by the second client computing device controllable by the presenter. 13. The computer system of claim 10, wherein the inactive scene is not displayable by the first client computing device controllable by the user.
