```
public interface Collaboration
```
The Collaboration object provides access to collaboration related capabilities and actions.

The Collaboration object is accessible via CollaborationService and provides a set of APIs that allow application developers to access different features and services provided by Avaya's various collaboration solutions.

In general, the capabilities and the set of allowed operations are not only dependent on the capabilities of the conferencing server, but also on the specific privileges assigned to the local user on the collaboration call. A local user can have a moderator or presenter. Status updates concerning collaboration are reported through the CollaborationListener object.

```
void pauseReceivingSharing(ReceivingSharingControlCompletionHandler handler)
```
    Pauses receiving certain collaboration sharing updates.
    
    Currently stops content sharing image updates and whiteboard drawing updates.
    
    Can be used to reduce application event-handling workload in situations when sharing does not need to be processed (e.g. sharing-related UI components are hidden).
    
    Receiving sharing can be started again with resumeReceivingSharing(ReceivingSharingControlCompletionHandler) without losing any intermediate data (i.e. the up-to-date content sharing key frame and all whiteboard drawing events will be eventually received).
    
    Parameters:
    
    handler - completion handler instance used to report that the operation finished.
  - resumeReceivingSharing
```
void resumeReceivingSharing(ReceivingSharingControlCompletionHandler handler)
```
    Resumes receiving certain collaboration sharing updates.
    
    Starts receiving sharing updates previously paused by pauseReceivingSharing(ReceivingSharingControlCompletionHandler).
    
    Parameters:
    
    handler - completion handler instance used to report that the operation finished.
