Method and apparatus for keyhole video frame transmission during a communication session

A method and apparatus allows keyhole frame images to be transmitted to a receiving terminal during a communication session. The keyhole frame is movable and resizable throughout the display of the hosting terminal, whereby the image captured by the keyhole frame is transmitted to the receiving terminal during the communication session. The transmitted image may be combined at the receiving terminal with voice or other transmissions from other independent sources to form an integrated communication session. Modifications to the image may be directed by the receiving terminal either through voice commands sent to the hosting terminal from the receiving terminal, or alternatively through cursor/pointing device commands actuated from the receiving terminal itself. All modifications effected on the keyhole frame image at the hosting terminal are viewed in real time at the receiving terminal.
