Prior to the intermediate host conference, an Intermediate Host
Conferencing Module communicates a library of digital objects and the
Intermediate Host Conferencing Module to an intermediate host
communications device(s). During the conference, the intermediate
host-resident Intermediate Host Conferencing Module receives a
synchronization command and instructs the intermediate host
communications device to communicate a synchronized object with
presentation instructions to a downstream participant communications
device and to present the synchronized object to the intermediate host
communications device. Furthermore, the participant communications
devices may communicate a synchronization acknowledgment back to the
Intermediate Host Conferencing Module. The synchronization confirmation
acknowledges a successful presentation of the synchronized object to the
intermediate host communications device and/or to at least one of the
downstream participant communications devices.
